FREYSSINET | PT Slabs - Presressed Floor Solutions

The company has unrivalled knowledge and expertise in public buildings construction, with numerous successful projects worldwide.

Prestressing by post-tensioning, which has already been commonly used in structures throughout the world for many years, is becoming increasingly widespread in the building sector. A growing number of architects, developers and design offices have understood its advantages and are using it to construct buildings.

Contemporary architectural trends, reflecting modern lifestyle, favor large uninterrupted floor areas, flexible internal layout and spaces that are easy to modify and move around in, while considerably improving the durability of buildings. These multiple requirements can be met through prestressing by post-tensioning, which makes it possible to achieve large unobstructed spans, with a minimum number of columns and reduced floor depths. Flexibility of application - made with light equipment - and the mechanical features of Freyssinet prestressing by post-tensioning, provide architects, consulting engineers, design offices and developers with a cost-effective solution for designing floors and terraces in a wide variety of projects:

- office or residential buildings;

- underground car parks and multistorey car parks;

- hospitals;

- schools;

- business centres;

- industrial buildings;

- sports buildings;

- special structures (multiple stage settling basins, storage reservoirs).
