Post-tensioning makes possible the cost-effective construction of high-quality bridges over a wide range of conditions and span lengths including highway alignment. Bridge structures constructed using post-tensioning have high intrinsic durability and are able to be built quickly with minimal impact on the human and natural environment. Further, structures constructed using post-tensioning also benefit from the method's ability to limit cracking, reduced structural depth, ease of accommodating curved roadway alignment and low maintenance costs. And, these benefits do not come at the expense of aesthetic expression.

Cast-in-place cantilever construction has become the preferred method of building long-span concrete bridges as well as concrete arches with the help of temporary towers and stays. It is a proven cost-effective means of building spans ranging from 200-feet (60 m) to more than 1,000-feet (300 m). It has been used to cross major bodies of water, deep mountain canyons, and densely populated urban areas. Further, post-tensioning can be used effectively to build bridges on alignments that are curved in plan.

Post-tensioned superstructures, which can be built quickly and without touching the land or water below the bridge, are a relatively low impact structural system and optimal solution. For longer spans (commonly up to 300-feet or more), shallower girder depths, and continuously curved superstructures, post-tensioning offers ductility and seismic performance as well as superior aesthetics to today's precast designs. Post-tensioning also provides more flexibility in the layout of span lengths, bent configurations and roadway geometrics than reinforced concrete box girders.

Pre-Stressed Pre-Cast Beams -Post & Pre Tensioning Systems

PPI Precast is one of the main precast contractor in singapore. PPI is doing main production of PSPC beams (I-Girder,U-Girder,T-Girder,Etc),POB Beams,House Shelter,etc) Post Tensioning can also be used in applications other than the construction of new bridge superstructures.Two of the most important of these applications are precast concrete segmental bridge piers and precast concrete deck panels.

Precast segmental construction offers a reduction of labor,elimination of falsework,and increase in speed of construction.
