About Post-Tensioned Slabs
Post-tensioned slabs offer structural advantages that conventional reinforcement can't match—longer spans, thinner sections, and superior crack control. For commercial buildings, parking structures, and podium decks throughout the DFW Metroplex, PT slabs provide the performance that sophisticated owners demand.
As your general contractor for post-tensioned concrete, we manage the complete PT process from tendon layout through final stressing. This requires close coordination between structural engineering, formwork, tendon installation, concrete placement, and stressing operations—all executed on tight schedules.
Post-tensioned construction requires specialized crews who understand tendon profiles, stressing sequences, and the critical timing of PT operations. Our teams have executed PT slabs on office buildings, parking structures, and mixed-use developments throughout Irving, Dallas, and the broader Metroplex.
The efficiency of PT construction makes it particularly valuable for multi-story commercial buildings where reducing floor-to-floor heights saves significant construction cost. We work with developers to optimize PT slab designs that deliver structural performance while controlling project budgets.

Frequently asked questions
Post-Tensioned Slabs in Irving, TX
Common questions from developers and property owners planning post-tensioned slabs projects across North Texas.
When should developers consider post-tensioned slabs?
PT slabs offer advantages when you need longer spans (reducing columns), thinner floor sections (saving height in multi-story buildings), or superior crack control (critical for parking decks and waterproofed areas). We help evaluate whether PT is cost-effective for each project.
How do you coordinate PT tendon installation?
Tendon installation requires careful coordination with reinforcement, MEP penetrations, and concrete placement schedules. Our crews install tendons according to approved shop drawings, chair properly for correct profile, and verify placement before concrete arrives.
What's involved in PT stressing operations?
Stressing occurs after concrete reaches specified strength—typically 3-4 days after placement. Our crews stress tendons in engineered sequences, record elongations for verification, and grout or cap tendons per specifications. All stressing data is documented for the permanent record.
Do you handle PT repairs and modifications?
Yes, we perform PT repairs including tendon replacement and slab strengthening. We also handle modifications like core drilling through PT slabs, which requires careful tendon location and temporary support design.
