SLAB-ON-GROUND
The range of our slab-on-ground projects include Industrial Warehouse, Single-Family Housing and Tennis Courts.
Unbonded Post-Tensioning can be installed in industrial warehouse concrete slabs. The benefit is larger pours which eliminates concrete curling at joints.
Unbonded Post-Tensioning structural slabs deliver a cost-efficient solution to single-family homes on expansive soils. Post-Tension slab-on-ground and foundation applications provide reliability to builders and homeowners.
