Post-Tensioned Concrete Slabs
CCL Slabs provide many advantages over traditional reinforced concrete and help overcome some of the restrictions faced by architects, engineers and contractors.
Thinner Slabs
Thinner slabs maximise floor to ceiling height and can even create additional floors within the same building height. Additional savings can be made on the costs of cladding and services.
Longer Spans
The longer spans achieved with CCL Slabs reduce the number of columns, giving greater flexibility of layout and expanded open spaces.
Crack Resistance
The reduced cracking of CCL Slabs makes them ideal for exposed soffit applications.
Flexibility
Able to cope with difficult or complex geometry, follow irregular column grids and curved edges, CCL Slabs allow designers more freedom to create more inspired structures.
Reduced Material Usage
When compared to reinforced concrete, CCL Slabs require reduced quantities of concrete and reinforcement, in some areas by as much as 30%, producing significant cost savings.
Lower CO2 Emissions
The lower CO2 emissions resulting from reduced quantities of concrete and reinforcement provide environmental benefits.
Faster Construction
Reduced quantities of reinforcement within the slabs accelerate construction schedules by minimising fixing time. The stressing of the post-tensioning system at early concrete stages allows a faster shoring and re-shoring cycle.
