Why Post-Tension for Flatwork?

Standard concrete flatwork cracks under the stress of freeze-thaw cycles, heavy loads, and ground movement. Post-tension technology compresses the concrete, preventing cracks before they form.

  • ✓No cracking from freeze-thaw cycles
  • ✓Handles heavy vehicle traffic
  • ✓Resists ground settling and movement
  • ✓30+ year lifespan with minimal maintenance

Why Post-Tension Concrete?

Utah's freeze-thaw cycles destroy standard concrete. Post-tension technology uses high-strength steel cables to compress concrete, preventing cracks and extending lifespan by decades.

❌

Standard Concrete

Vulnerable to Utah winters

  • •Cracks from freeze-thaw cycles
  • •Shorter lifespan (10-15 years)
  • •Expensive repairs needed
  • •Surface deterioration

Post-Tension Concrete

Built for Utah's climate

  • ✓No cracking from freeze-thaw
  • ✓Extended lifespan (30+ years)
  • ✓Lower lifetime cost
  • ✓Resort-quality durability

How Post-Tension Works

Think of it like lacing up a tennis racket—tight strings keep the surface strong and ready to play.

1
Pour the slab

We pour a thick concrete base, just like making a giant pancake that covers your yard.

2
Thread the cables

Before it dries, we slide super-strong steel cables through tubes inside the concrete.

3
Tighten the cables

Once the concrete hardens, we pull the cables tight—like tightening strings on a tennis racket.

4
Concrete stays squeezed

The tight cables keep the slab squeezed together, so cracks can’t open even when it freezes and thaws.

Lower Lifetime Cost

Minimal maintenance and repair expenses

How It Works

Think of post-tension cables like the strings on a tennis racket—they keep everything tight and stable. High-strength steel cables are threaded through the concrete, then tensioned after it cures. This compression prevents cracks from forming, even under extreme temperature changes and heavy loads.
