So the engineers decided to go for EXTERNAL POST TENSIONING TECHNIQUE was used successfully for this case. Reinforcement was fabricated and fixed along with post tensioned mono strands (encased in HDPE pipe) to profile. But this option was also not suitable as it was making beam heavier with high volume of reinforcing steel.
