News & project cases

Prestressed concrete strand is used wherever concrete must span further or carry more load with less material. The project cases above show the three most common families: long-span bridges and viaducts using bonded or unbonded post-tensioned tendons, high-rise and mixed-use buildings using post-tensioned slabs and beams, and industrial structures such as silos and cement plant facilities using prestressed elements.

Selection between 9.53 mm, 12.7 mm and 15.24 mm strand depends on the required prestressing force per tendon, the approved anchorage and wedge dimensions, duct clearance and jack capacity — not on project size alone. Global Overseas supplies the strand, anchorage, duct and stressing equipment as a compatible package, which reduces the interface risk that appears when components come from different suppliers.
