What Is Post-Tension Concrete?
The post-tension concrete is a way of reinforcing concrete, not just waiting for something to happen. Because we're actively using reinforcement that's doing about 80% of its capacity every day of its life, that leads us to being able to use a lot less concrete and other reinforcing. For instance, our hotels that we'll do will span 26, 28 feet and be 7 inches of concrete. And that's the entire structural depth. No other material can put its entire structure within 7 inches or the 8 inches that we can.
