ost-tension
reinforcing is a method of construction used in the roof
and floor of Easi-Set and Easi-Span precast buildings. Post-Tensioning
is used to enable the floor and roof to achieve a level of
water tightness superior to that of regular precast concrete
and is installed around the perimeter of the slab inside
the concrete. Plastic encapsulated cable is laid in the fresh
concrete within 9” of display the typical post-tension
layout in Easi-Set floors and roofs.
