POST TENSIONING IN REHABILITATION OF STRUCTURES

The Constructor

Reinforcement was fabricated and fixed along with post tensioned mono strands (encased in HDPE pipe) to profile. After fabricating and fixing shuttering in position, micro concrete encasement was carried out throughout the core holes in the slab. End anchors of post tensioned strands were fixed in position.
