We used 702 rock anchors to tension the foundations of a large wind farm in Sweden.
Tensioning
Our tensioning unit is an experienced expert in post-tensioned concrete structures.
We are happy to tell more about the possibilities of a post-tension alternative for a project when choosing a framework solution.
We have special expertise in challenging stress work sites both in Finland and abroad. We carry out the tension work of large and demanding sites cast on site, anchoring the foundations of wind turbines, tension work of bridges, diagonal rope structures and drag rods or tensioned rock anchors. We represent the Mekano4 voltage method with pan-European approval (EEA approval). With our versatile equipment and experienced staff, we also implement special projects that require expertise and planning, such as structural transfers, adjustments and lifting by jamming.
The operation of our tension unit is certified. It tells that the performer of the work is an experienced specialist company, whose management, quality system issues, as well as an external evaluator of the order-delivery chain have been approved. Our excitement team has long-standing expertise in challenging destinations.
Our post-tensioning unit also has expertise in planning and design control. The excitement work is at its own level. Both designers and contractors must have excitement specialists and equipment. The work requires special care and close supervision of the work, especially when carried out at the same time as other construction work.
Our tensioning unit operations are certified. This indicates that the work is performed by an experienced specialist company with management, quality system and an order/supply chain that have been approved by an external assessor. Our tensioning team has solid experience from challenging projects both in Finland and abroad. We have implemented tensioning of large and demanding projects cast on site, bridge tensioning, cable stay structures and tension rods as well as tensioned ground anchoring.
Tensioned ground anchoring
We manufacture ground anchors in Finland. We can deliver large volumes quickly to different construction sites in the Nordic countries thanks to short distances. We have an extensive fleet for various kinds of tensioning, lifting and jacking assignments. In addition to customary tensioning, we provide customised solutions for the specific needs of our customers.
Tensioned structure
Tensioned concrete structures require special expertise. It reduces the number of columns needed, and the deck structures are thinner than when traditional construction methods are used. Furthermore, the benefits of tensioning include the lack of cracking of structures, which also leads to water tightness and improved durability.
Occupational safety in tensioning
Safety in the construction industry always comes first, and special attention is paid to it in special contracting, such as post-tension work. We consider it our duty to see that those who work with us can work safely and are aware of the risks involved in the work.
Post-tension helps to carry heavier loads
Have you ever wondered how bridges bear loads, cars can be parked on multiple floors, a wind power plant stays upright, or a water tower rises so high?
