POST-TENSIONING SYSTEM INSTALL

GATEWAY CONSTRUCTION HAS SKILLED CREWS WITH EXTENSIVE POST-TENSIONING INSTALLATION AND STRESSING EXPERIANCE ACROSS A WIDE RANGEOF APPLICATIONS.

Why Gateway?

Gateway provides reliable, precise post‑tensioning services backed by extensive field experience and a strong commitment to safety. Our ironworkers bring years of hands‑on post‑tension (PT) expertise and hold PTI certifications, ensuring every stressing operation is performed with accuracy, consistency, and adherence to industry best practices.

Advantages over Traditional Rebar

Post‑tensioned systems offer several performance benefits compared to traditional rebar reinforcement. When installed by trained and certified ironworkers, PT provides:

Reduced shrinkage cracking, resulting in fewer control joints.
Tightly controlled cracking, as the applied post‑tensioning forces keep any cracks that do form firmly closed.
Thinner slabs and structural members, lowering concrete volume and overall building height without reducing usable floor‑to‑floor space.
Improved performance on expansive or soft soils, making PT ideal for many slab‑on‑grade projects.
Longer spans in elevated elements, such as floors and continuous beams, reducing the need for additional columns or supports.

Gateway specializes in the safe and accurate installation of post‑tensioning systems designed by qualified PT engineers.
