Post Tension Repair
Tendon distress, corrosion, and anchorage failures repaired to restore the slab's design capacity.
Post Tension Repair in South Florida
A failed tendon announces itself: a blown-out anchor pocket at the slab edge, a strand lifted through the top of the deck, rust staining on the soffit below. Left alone, one failed tendon overloads its neighbors. We locate the failure, de-tension safely, and return the slab to its design capacity.
PT Pros Inc. stands at the forefront of post-tensioning repair services, offering expert solutions to a wide range of structural challenges in post-tensioned systems. Our team, boasting extensive experience in the field, specializes in addressing diverse types of post-tensioning failures such as tendon ruptures, anchor failures, and corrosion-induced damages. Based in South Florida, we are adept at diagnosing and rectifying issues that compromise the strength and integrity of post-tensioned structures, ensuring each repair is tailored to the specific needs of the project.
Our approach to post-tensioning repairs encompasses a thorough understanding of the unique failure modes associated with these systems. We skillfully handle tendon ruptures, often caused by external impact or corrosion, by implementing advanced repair techniques that restore the structural capacity and extend the service life of the system.
In cases of anchor failures, our team utilizes specialized methods to reinforce or replace compromised anchors, ensuring robust and reliable connections. Furthermore, we address corrosion-related damages, a common challenge in post-tensioned structures, through meticulous evaluation and the application of advanced corrosion protection and repair strategies. PT Pros Inc. is committed to delivering solutions that are not just effective in the short term but also contribute to the prolonged durability and safety of the structure.
Scope of Work
- Tendon locating and condition assessment (GPR-assisted)
- Safe de-tensioning and controlled strand extraction
