Overview
Post-tensioning is an advanced method of reinforcing concrete in which high-strength steel tendons are tensioned after the concrete has hardened, placing the concrete into beneficial compression. Arabian Company for Protection and Strengthening provides comprehensive post-tensioning services for new construction and existing structures.
Our systems enable longer spans, thinner slabs, superior crack control, and enhanced durability—making them ideal for bridges, high-rise buildings, parking structures, and industrial slabs.
Solutions
CFRP flexural and shear strengthening, column confinement, steel plate bonding, and section enlargement systems that increase load capacity without adding significant weight.
Bonded Post-Tensioning Systems
Tendons encased in ducts, stressed after concrete gains strength, then grouted to create full bond with surrounding concrete. Ideal for bridges, transfer beams, and structures requiring redundancy.
Unbonded Post-Tensioning Systems
Individual tendons greased and sheathed, anchored at each end. Common in buildings and parking structures for rapid construction, thinner slabs, and crack control.
External Post-Tensioning Strengthening
Tendons installed outside original concrete sections and stressed to apply beneficial compressive forces. Used for bridge girder strengthening and deflection correction.
PT System Maintenance & Repair
Inspection, re-stressing, and replacement of corroded or failed tendons; end-cap re-greasing; grouting of voids; condition assessment using non-destructive testing methods.
