Future-Proof Foundations.
One of the most trusted foundation contrators in Dallas Fort Worth, Texas.
We are a single-family concrete foundation contractor serving high-volume home builders in Dallas Fort Worth and Austin TX areas.
Our post-tensioned slab on grade is more durable and economical than conventional slab reinforcement. Post-tensioning, which is a form of prestressing, has several advantages over standard reinforcing steel (rebars): It reduces or eliminates shrinkage cracking, therefore, no joints, or fewer joints, are needed. All of which add up to higher quality foundations for your project and accelerated delivery schedules.
WE’VE BEEN TRUSTED TO PARTNER WITH:
Our post-tension slab-on-grade (SOG) foundations leverage high-strength steel tendons pulled into tension.
Tendons are typically greased and encased in a plastic coating. The grease and plastic coating helps to allow the tendon slide inside the concrete. Once the concrete has sufficient strength the tendons are stressed using hydraulic jacks to increase tension, compress the concrete adding strength to the foundation. Concrete shrinks as it cures and this puts internal tensile stress into the concrete. Post tension adds compressive forces that help to overcome the internal tensile forces from shrinkage. This means fewer cracks and stronger foundations. Other benefits from our approach include:
- Less concrete and steel than typical reinforced SOG
- Reduces cracks in the slab
- A more rigid foundation and can resist movement from high swelling soil
