SPS Post-Tension System Innovation since 1975

---

Our Post-Tension System enables glue-laminated beams to accommodate loads greater than the original design load capacity. Post-Tension Structural Reinforcement and Repair can:

• Support additional loads such as air conditioning units, new ceilings, fire sprinklers, and mechanical equipment, thus increasing life safety by preventing failures and/or collapse.
• Correct deficiencies in structural fabrication and design.
• Prevent ponding of water on beams by eliminating sag along beam and or purlin lines.
• Restore original strength to fire damaged glued-laminated beams.
• Accommodate changes in building codes that previously allowed higher stresses.
• Be more cost-effective than commonly used conventional reinforcement mothods, utilizing full-length wood or steel channel sister members, which require temporary shoring to alleviate existing stresses in member prior to reinforcement. 
• Be completed without removal and relocation of utilities, sprinklers, piping, HVAC and existing ceilings as required for conventional reinforcement methods.
• Cause less disruption to business operations and yield a shorter construction time.
