ITB contributes to innovation in the industry by offering a post-tensioning technique to reinforce concrete. Post-tensioning tendons are positioned in the forms before the concrete is placed. Once the concrete is verified to have gained strength and before the service loads are applied, the cables are pulled tight, or tensioned, and anchored against the outer edges of the concrete.
Typically we offer:
shop drawings and stressing calculations, safe Installation procedure, supplies, and jack calibrations / traceable to international standards.
We are the pioneers of this technology in Nigeria. Benefits of post tensioned slabs include flexibility of layout and servicing, cost saving, lighter structure, faster construction i.e. time saving etc. Clients are the main beneficiaries of this cost effective technology, as it provides for larger open spaces and increases construction efficiency for contractors.
