What we do
Our Post-Tensioning Expertise
From design to tensioning, BEPCO covers the entire prestressed concrete chain for all types of structures.
Flat Slabs & Floors
Free up your spaces with thin slabs without intermediate columns. Post-tensioning enables clear spans up to 14 m for residential, commercial and parking projects.
Beams & Long Spans
Push the limits of span for your monumental structures. Our prestressed beams deliver the strength needed for warehouses, stadiums and shopping centres.
Ground Slabs
Secure your structures on compressible soils. Our post-tensioned rafts and footings ensure optimal load distribution and total crack control.
Pools & Tanks
Master active waterproofing through compression. From Olympic pools to industrial tanks, we design durable hydraulic structures with zero leaks.
Bridges & Infrastructure
Design slender and robust engineering structures. We build your bridge decks, viaducts and footbridges to the strictest Eurocode standards.
Structural Audit & Assessment
Extend the life of your infrastructure. We carry out precise diagnostics and reinforcements through additional post-tensioning to secure your existing buildings.

Technology
What is Post-Tensioning?
Post-tensioning is a prestressing method applied after concrete is poured. High-strength steel cables (1,860 MPa) are tensioned using hydraulic jacks, then locked with anchors. This technique creates permanent compression at the heart of the structure, neutralising tensile forces and enabling thinner, stronger slabs.
-
Design & Engineering
Precise calculation of cable profiles and prestressing forces based on your structure's geometry.
-
Duct Installation
Installation of ducts (HDPE or steel) and anchor plates before concrete pouring.
-
Pouring & Curing
Placement of high-performance concrete (fc≥25MPa) with rigorous curing monitoring to ensure optimal strength.
-
Stressing
Application of 150 to 200 kN force per cable using hydraulic jacks to compress the structure.
-
Anchoring & Protection
Final locking of cables and cement grout injection for durable corrosion protection.

In service
The sheathed cables are laid in the formwork, still slack, then the concrete is poured around them.
