The Advantages Of Using Post Tension Products

By Christopher Gibson


Modern architectural designs have been built in the most advanced ways. This is contrary to the ancient times when the buildings were just constructed in simple ways. Great input is needed when constructing a structure that will meet your expectations. The constructions commercial structures, playground and residential apartments require great levels of professionalism. The quantities and the qualities of the materials used to come up with an appealing structure out to be used in the right manner. For instance, post tension products are essential in ensuring the structures are well constructed. Following is a discussion of the advantages accrued when using these products.

Firstly, they help in reducing the supplies needed in construction. Their main purpose is to provide a tensile force on the concrete to come up with strong floors. This ensures that reduced size of slabs are used in the overall work by then time construction is completed. As a result, the costs the demand for these materials is minimized leading to the utilization of fewer items that when this technique is ignored.

When these products are used in construction, the span of the structure being built is greatly increased. Their main role is to compress the concrete together while the tension cables offer the needed tensile force to ensure that the slabs gain the required strength. This, as a result, ensures that no cracks form in the buildings or the floors where such mechanisms are applied. The houses and other structures become more durable than when built with only concrete or other alternative inputs.

The overall expenditure that is incurred during the construction works is minimized by a reasonable margin. This is mainly as a result of the reduction of the items needed to carry out the building to completion. Every constructor must yearn to achieve this since it is the desire of the clients to ensure that they do not spend excessively on the works being done. The resources saved can be channeled to other activities.

The other important aspect attained through the use of these products is the reduction in the cost of maintenance. The is achieved due to the increased durability of constructions enhanced by the post tensile strength. The cracks that could form easily in absence of a tensile force and the compression of concrete are eliminated. This ensures that the costs that could be incurred in repairing the buildings are curtailed.

The rate at which the constructions are completed increase. Preparations of concrete floors without the application of tensile and compression forces take pretty long time. When these supplies are used instead, the floor and other surfaces are built at an improved rate. It ensures that clients put their apartments into use in good time.

The apartments constructed using this technique are highly stable and firm on the ground. The pressure exerted on the concrete at the base as well as the foundation of apartments give them the strength deserved. This enables them to withstand even the effects of natural, calamities such as earthquakes and strong winds.

The apartments erected have excellent aesthetic value. They are characterized by attractive appearance and appealing to the owners. This could be attributed to the user of thin slabs and reduction in the total foundation loads.
