A cost-effective reinforcement system for new building construction, these single strands are covered with extruded plastic for corrosion protection. Multiple strands are encased in metal or plastic ducts and are grouted in place within the concrete structure after stressing. Used for bridges, tanks, and buildings, the system provides corrosion protection to the prestressing steel. Multiple strands are grouted in ducts which are mounted on the outside of concrete beams or slabs for new structures or structural upgrade. External PT is well adapted to bridges due to construction cost savings and corrosion resistance provided by the system.
External tendons are easy to inspect and, if necessary, replace.
They are ideal for strengthening existing structures and can be used for a wide range of applications including buildings, silos, and reservoirs. Anchor construction can be adapted to a wide range of requirements including rock or soil and permanent or temporary. Electrically isolated anchors use tight PE encapsulation combined with an electrically non-conductive anchorage isolation. VSL can plan lifting, horizontal jacking, or lowering operations and design the necessary temporary structures needed to meet your requirements.
