Prestressing
Prestressing advantages
- Greater structural resilience and load-bearing capacity
- Longer spans for architectural freedom
- Savings in materials costs
Description
Prestressing greatly enhances the structural resilience and load-bearing capacity of precast elements, and partly for these reasons is the most common method employed today. Whether for floors or other types of elements, our prestressing machines allow for cables to be laid onto the casting bed either individually or in bundles, both with and without relief. Our prestressing machines provide controlled prestressing and slow release, ensuring the high quality of the end product.Collection Maker
