Our Solutions

Prestressing bars provide a straightforward and effective method for securing structural elements and transferring compressive forces to create the required friction between contacting surfaces.

For over 50 years, Freyssinet has played a key role in building construction, enhancing structural performance through the use of post-tensioned slab technology. Our expertise and technical know-how contribute to the delivery of increasingly functional, efficient, and durable structures.

All our post-tensioning systems are CE marked, guaranteeing high product performance, rigorous quality control, and advanced installation methods

Post-tensioning Benefits

It has transformed concrete construction by allowing thinner sections, longer spans, and improved durability. It also streamlines and speeds up bridge construction. Patented by Eugène Freyssinet in 1928 and advanced by his company, now Freyssinet, the technique is now widely adopted worldwide.

Post-tensioning enables a broad array of geometric and architectural possibilities, allowing for intricate curves, varying elevations, and extended unsupported spans

Post-tensioning greatly minimises the need for concrete and steel in both the structure and foundation. It also facilitates the swift assembly of precast elements through industrialised methods, ensuring faster and more efficient site progress.

This solution minimises the need for joints, thereby reducing joint maintenance. In tanks, silos, and reservoirs, it greatly reduces the risk of cracked concrete, significantly lowering the risk of corrosion issues.

Post-tensioned structures use fewer construction materials, such as steel reinforcement and concrete, leading to lower greenhouse gas emissions from production and transportation. This typically results in carbon savings of 20 to 30%.
