Design and Construction of Post-Tensioned Slabs
POST-TENSIONING
Post-tensioning construction
We have a team with more than 25 years of experience in post-tensioning construction in Chile.
Experience in post-tensioned slabs, beams and columns, for residential buildings, office buildings, parking lots, hospitals, among others.
Engineering design
We develop the structural engineering design corresponding to the post-tensioned elements and adapt to the specific structural, architectural and/or construction needs of each project.
We use specialized finite element analysis software for our designs. We make sure to stay up-to-date with local and international regulatory requirements and best practices for optimal design.
Integration with BIM technologies
Our projects are designed integrated with Revit and/or Navisworks models as needed.
Our cables are developed in the 3D model and the documentation is obtained from the Revit model.
We have solutions for handling the 3D model and/or documentation, whether on site or sharing the design with other specialties, as required by the project.
SLABS
POST-TENSIONED
Some benefits of post-tensioned slabs:
- Larger lights for greater freedom in architectural design.
- Advance sequence allows formwork recovery once tensioned (approx. 3 days).
- Reduced thicknesses in structural elements.
- Better control of deformation and cracking of concrete.
- Greater breaking capacity.
At Postec, we integrate post-tensioning design with BIM technologies.
