Post tensioning system

Hercules LMK is a post-tensioning system which applies the tensioning force after concreting or after the installation of pre-casted segments, throughout a system of anchorages and tendons, which when filled with grout are bonded to the structure.

Hercules LMK system is widely used at the construction of post-tensioned concrete system, i.e. bridges, buildings, silos, tanks and other constructions for internal and external as well tensioning.

Hercules LMK system can achieve economical benefits for the construction, avoiding the need for a pre-stressing bed by applying the prestressing force in phases, giving to the consultants/designers and contractors the advantages of a simplified construction.

Description

Hercules LMK Post tensioning system studied and designed by Engineers of various disciplines with long-standing activity and experience in construction and project management, to meet the requirements of complex PT projects by providing Know-how, quality and consistency in applications.

The system’s vision has always been focused on applying new technologies and contributing to high quality services respecting at the same time safety and environmental issues.

Hercules LMK Post tensioning system responds proactively to the trends of Int’l markets having successfully accomplished numerous post-tensioning projects involving in all types of construction methodologies, from simply supported beams to slabs, cantilevers, incremental launching and segmental structures, gaining experience in the application of the post-tensioning technology by installing more than 100,000 tons of 7-wire PC strands.

Hercules LMK Post tensioning system accompanied by full technical support and assistance by a team of engineers having participated in prestigious infrastructure projects in the road and railway industry.

Hercules LMK Post tensioning system advantages:

Post tensioning applies compressive force to concrete, enhancing its load bearing capacity and overall structural integrity.
Post tensioning utilizing high strength steel tendons, allows for thinner concrete sections, leading to lower material consumption and reduce construction cost
Post tensioning enables architects and engineers to create innovative and efficient structural designs with longer spans, fewer columns, and unique shapes that are not possible with conventional construction methods
Post tensioning helps control cracking in concrete by placing it under compression, resulting a more durable and aesthetically pleasing structure with fewer visible cracks
Post tensioning structures are known for their resilience and ability to withstand environmental factors, result in extended service life and reduced maintenance requirements over time
Post tensioning accelerates construction schedules by allowing for faster assembly of components, reduced formwork requirements, and quicker curing times, leading to overall project time savings and earlier occupancy
