Silo post-tensioning

Freyssinet has developed a complete range of innovative products and processes designed to support its clients and to meet the specific requirements for building containment tanks.

Advantages of using post-tensioning in tank construction:

• it provides the required resistance to the acting forces;
• it makes possible solutions more economic than those achievable with reinforced concrete or steel.
• it renders the concrete virtually free of cracks.

Applications of post-tensioning in tank construction:

• circumferential post-tensioning of walls – system C;
• vertical post-tensioning of walls – system C;
• post-tensioning of tank roofs – systems C,B,F;
• additional post-tensioning when repairing existing tanks – system X.

Information about systems C, B and F is available from the previous pages of the section products and services. Below you can download information for the system for external circumferential post tensioning - System X
