ADVANTAGES OF POST-TENSIONING (PT):

Kline uses the latest construction technologies to provide clients with efficient and cost-effective designs that contribute to a sustainable built environment. Perhaps the most cutting-edge construction technology today is the use of post-tensioned concrete in many types of structures:

Larger column-free spaces within the building or parking structure with thinner structural members.
Reduced depth of transfer elements such as transfer girders, transfer plates, and podium slabs.
Reduced material, labor costs, and congestion during construction by reducing concrete quantities by over 20% compared to conventional reinforced concrete, and rebar in beams and slabs by up to 80%
Reduced cracking in concrete members due to precompressing from the PT.
Reduced cement consumption results in reduced production of greenhouse gasses.
