Bonded Post-Tensioning
Multi-strand bonded tendon installation and grouting for beams, transfer girders, and segmental work.
Bonded Post-Tensioning in South Florida
Multi-strand bonded tendons carry the heaviest loads in a structure — transfer girders, heavy beams, segmental construction. The work demands certified installers and certified grouting: voids in a duct are where corrosion starts. Our crews hold PTI bonded (multi-strand) and ASBI grouting certifications.
PT Pros Inc. is a leader in the field of bonded post-tensioning, a specialized technique essential for modern concrete construction. Serving South Florida and beyond, our team brings expertise in this advanced method, which involves embedding high-strength steel tendons within concrete slabs or structures. Bonded post-tensioning is pivotal in enhancing the structural capacity and minimizing the material usage in various construction projects, including commercial developments, residential buildings, and infrastructure works. By using this technique, PT Pros Inc. ensures that structures are not only stronger and more flexible but also more cost-effective and sustainable.
Our approach to bonded post-tensioning involves strategically placing steel tendons within concrete, which are then tensioned and bonded to the concrete with grout. This process compresses the concrete, allowing it to better resist tensile forces and significantly increasing the load-bearing capacity of the structure. Our expertise extends to designing and executing post-tensioning plans that are precisely tailored to the structural requirements of each project.
We utilize state-of-the-art equipment and materials to execute bonded post-tensioning work, ensuring a high degree of precision and efficiency. Whether it's enhancing the durability of long-span bridges or optimizing the floor systems in high-rise buildings, PT Pros Inc. delivers solutions that set new benchmarks in construction excellence.
