Our Services
BEPCO designs, engineers and builds post-tensioned concrete structures for all project types — buildings, infrastructure, hydraulic structures and structural rehabilitation.
Post-Tensioned Flat Slabs & Floors
Post-tensioned slabs eliminate beam drop panels, providing flat ceilings and total architectural freedom. Slab thickness is reduced by 20 to 30% compared to conventional reinforced concrete, decreasing self-weight and foundation loads. Cable stressing accelerates construction by enabling rapid stripping. This technique is ideal for office buildings, high-rise residential and above-ground car parks.
- Flat ceilings with no beam drops
- Thickness reduced by 20–30%
- Accelerated stripping (3–5 days)
- Foundation cost savings
Beams & Long Spans
Post-tensioning enables long-span beams spanning 15 to 30 metres without intermediate supports. This capability is essential for auditoriums, exhibition halls, shopping centres and large-bay car parks. Concrete sections are optimised through prestressing, reducing material consumption while ensuring superior stiffness and durability.
- Clear spans of 15 to 30 m
- Open spaces without intermediate columns
- Optimised beam sections
- Suited for car parks, auditoriums, halls
Post-Tensioned Ground Slabs
Post-tensioned ground slabs are the benchmark solution for warehouses, logistics platforms and industrial floors. Prestressing keeps the concrete in permanent compression, significantly reducing cracking and shrinkage. The result: wider expansion joint spacing, superior flatness and extended service life, even under heavy rolling loads.
- Cracking reduced by 80%
- Wider expansion joint spacing
- Superior flatness (FL/FM)
- Ideal for heavy rolling loads
Pools & Tanks
Water-retaining structures demand absolute watertightness. Post-tensioning places the concrete in compression throughout its thickness, closing micro-cracks and ensuring impermeability without membranes. BEPCO designs and builds post-tensioned pools, potable water tanks, treatment basins and water towers compliant with international standards.
- Full watertightness without membranes
- Permanent compression prevents cracking
- Compliant with potable water standards
- Service life > 50 years
Bridges & Infrastructure
BEPCO works on civil engineering structures: bridge decks, viaducts, overpasses and infrastructure cover slabs. Post-tensioning with greased-sheathed or ducted cables enables long spans with optimised sections. Our teams master on-site stressing, elongation control and duct grouting for maximum durability.
- Long-span bridge decks
- Greased-sheathed or ducted cables
- Strict elongation control
- Duct grouting for durability
Structural Audit & Assessment
BEPCO offers audit and diagnostic services on existing structures, whether reinforced concrete, prestressed or composite. Our engineers assess residual load-bearing capacity, identify pathologies (corrosion, cracking, delamination) and recommend the most appropriate rehabilitation or strengthening solutions.
- Comprehensive structural diagnostics
- Load-bearing capacity assessment
- Tailored rehabilitation plans
- Structural strengthening advice
Why Post-Tensioning?
Post-tensioning transforms ordinary concrete into a high-performance material. Here are the concrete benefits for your project.
Steel savings
Prestressing reduces the required passive steel by up to 40%, lowering the overall structural cost and the project's carbon footprint.
Thinner slabs
Slab thickness is reduced by 20 to 30% compared to conventional reinforced concrete, freeing up usable height per storey or reducing total building height.
Faster construction
Early stripping (3 to 5 days instead of 21) accelerates the construction cycle. Each floor is delivered faster, reducing labour and formwork rental costs.
Column-free spans
Post-tensioning enables spans exceeding 30 metres without intermediate columns, offering architectural flexibility impossible with traditional reinforced concrete.
