In a recent project at PT Pros Inc., we tackled the challenging task of repairing damaged post-tension cables within a concrete structure. The process began with a meticulous assessment to pinpoint the precise location of the compromised tendons. Our approach required careful excavation through the concrete layers, employing precision cutting techniques to access the damaged post-tension cables without compromising the structural integrity of the surrounding areas.
This delicate operation was executed with specialized equipment and a deep understanding of structural dynamics, ensuring minimal disruption to the existing concrete matrix while providing direct access to the affected tendons.
Once we reached the damaged post-tension cables, our team implemented a series of technical repairs. This involved the intricate process of detensioning the affected strands, carefully removing any deteriorated sections, and then implementing the replacement with new, high-grade steel tendons. The newly installed tendons were then re-tensioned to their precise original specifications, ensuring optimal force distribution and structural functionality.
The final step involved resealing and restoring the concrete surface, matching the existing structural elements to maintain aesthetic continuity. Throughout the project, our team maintained a focus on ensuring the long-term durability and safety of the structure, showcasing PT Pros Inc.’s expertise in navigating complex post-tensioning challenges.
