PTS-S were contracted for the supply and execution of the multi-strand post tensioning on the new Bannerman Bridge, which links the R102 to the new Welmoed Housing Estate. The bridge deck is a 97m long prestressed concrete bridge deck with 4x spans of approximately 25m width. The deck design consists of 3x spine beams, with each spine beam containing 8x 13-strand post tensioned tendons. Stressing and grouting for post tensioning was completed in record time and all stressing and grout results were within the specified tolerances.
