KLINE’s Don Kline Honored as PTI Legend of Post-Tensioning
Some careers build projects.
Others help shape an entire industry.
We’re incredibly proud to share that Don Kline has been named a PTI Legend by the Post-Tensioning Institute.
This honor is reserved for individuals whose contributions have left a lasting mark on the post-tensioning industry. Awarded only once every two years, it represents the highest level of recognition within PTI, a place in the Hall of Fame among the pioneers and leaders who have defined the field.
What makes this moment even more meaningful is the timing.
This recognition comes as PTI celebrates its 50th anniversary, and as Kline Engineering & Consulting marks its 20-year milestone. Two legacies of progress, innovation, and impact aligning in a single moment.
Don’s influence goes far beyond any single project.
Over more than three decades, he has helped push post-tensioning forward, not just in how we design structures, but in how the industry thinks about efficiency, performance, and possibility.
From leading complex designs across the country, to shaping the future of the industry as Chair of the ACI-PTI 320 Committee, Don has consistently been at the forefront of innovation in post-tensioned concrete.
But what makes this recognition especially meaningful is not just the technical leadership, it’s the ripple effect:
Mentoring the next generation of engineers
Elevating industry standards
Building a firm grounded in expertise, curiosity, and collaboration
At KLINE, we see that impact every day.
Congratulations, Don! This recognition is incredibly well deserved, and we’re proud to be part of your journey.
