Post-tensioning uses high-strength steel tendons tensioned after concrete is poured, compressing the slab and dramatically increasing its load-carrying capacity — allowing thinner, longer spans than conventional reinforcement.
By optimising structural efficiency, post-tensioned slabs use significantly less concrete and steel than traditional reinforced concrete — reducing material costs, self-weight, and construction time on commercial projects.
From multi-storey car parks and retail centres to high-rise residential and mixed-use developments, post-tensioning is the structural solution of choice for long-span, high-load commercial construction across Australia.
Comprehensive post-tensioning engineering for commercial construction — delivered with precision and backed by certification.
Complete post-tensioning structural design for commercial buildings. Our engineers produce detailed drawings, specifications, and calculations to Australian standards, ensuring structural integrity from concept through to construction. Full Design & Construct delivery also available under a single contract.
High-quality post-tensioning materials sourced and supplied to exact project specifications. Our certified installation crew manages all phases of tendon placement, stressing, and grouting on-site — with strict quality control at every stage to meet programme and budget requirements.
Independent dual certification of post-tensioning works as required by Australian building codes. PTD provides both design and construction certification in-house, giving builders, developers, and building certifiers complete confidence in regulatory compliance and structural sign-off.
Qualified structural engineers conduct inspections at critical construction stages, verifying that post-tensioning works conform to approved drawings and specifications. Issues are identified and resolved before they become costly defects — protecting your programme and your investment.
