Post-tensioning, or PT, has become increasingly popular over the past few years, as the technology has been perfected with better materials and construction methods has made this system a preferred one. PT works are predominantly used in most projects that are currently in progress in Bahrain.

ARMCON established its Post tension division in 2016 and provide structural solution for civil engineering projects. Post tensioning of the concrete structure is cost and time effective for almost all medium to large span structure. Economy in the project can be achieved by considering correct structural framing. Our in-house engineering team often works with consultant and client to match up the requirement.

ARMCON post tension unit provides customer single window solution from conceptual design of structure to execution. All the structural design checked by a Bahrain registered structural engineer, matching the required standards.

Pre-stressing steel in housed in sheathing duct, allow moving of strand as tension force applied to strand after gaining sufficient strength of concrete. Strand elongate as it istensioned and locked into the place by using anchoring component, that keep mechanical connection between strand and anchorage device and keep the force in to the strand throughout life span. Elongation result should be checked and verified by the engineer before cutting excess strand. Cementitious grout is poured in to the duct after filling hole with cement and sand mortar. This is called Bonded Post tension.
