Where are post-tensioned slabs found in Northamptonshire?

Post-tensioned construction is common in the county multi-storey car parks, commercial floor plates and transfer structures built from the 1980s onward. Any penetration into a slab of that era warrants checking.

Can you support coring in Northamptonshire commercial buildings?

Yes. We locate and mark the tendons in post-tensioned commercial slabs so cores for new services can be planned to pass safely between them, with the final position agreed with the responsible engineer.

Do you work on car park alterations in Northamptonshire?

We do. Alterations and new penetrations in the county PT car parks carry real risk of a tendon strike, so we trace the cable lines and identify clear zones alongside the responsible engineer.

Post-Tension Cable Scanning in Northamptonshire

Northamptonshire town-centre car parks and modern commercial floor plates include post-tensioned construction, where the stressed tendons inside the slab make any penetration a serious matter. RebarScan locates those tendons across the county so cores and fixings can be planned to avoid them. All scanning is carried out to UKCSS-compliant standards.

Protecting post-tensioned slabs across the county

From the 1980s onward post-tensioning became a common way to build long-span slabs, and Northamptonshire car parks, commercial buildings and event structures are no exception. We scan the area of any proposed penetration, distinguish the draped tendon ducts from the ordinary reinforcement, and mark the cable lines and clear zones, with findings agreed with the responsible engineer before drilling.
