The Post-Tensioned Concrete System Process

1. Planning
Click for larger version	A Renner Sports Surfaces' representative meets with the owner to customize the installation of their project. We recommend that the owner consult a soils engineer prior to construction.
2. Grading
Click for larger version	After rough grading, fine grading is completed with the use of a laser-controlled machine, creating a true plane with tolerances to +/- 3/8".
3. Forming
Click for larger version	Steel forms are used to assure uniformity of planarity. These forms are pre-drilled to accept the cable anchoring system.
4. Cables
Click for larger version	Seven-strand, 1/2" diameter steel cables encased within a lubricated PVC sheath are placed in a grid pattern. Spacing is determined by the size of the slab. At each intersection, plastic chairs are used to hold the tendons at mid-depth of the slab.
5. Concrete Placement
Click for larger version	Concrete is placed with the aid of a concrete pump truck, and screeded with laser-guided equipment to assure planarity.
6. Fence Posts
Click for larger version	Sleeves are pre-set within the field of the court for accessories, such as net posts, basketball standards, etc.
7. Cable Stressing
Click for larger version	Once the concrete has achieved a specific compressive strength, the cables are hydraulically tensioned to 33,000 p.s.i. and anchored at 28,900 p.s.i. Cable ends are cut off 3/4" inside the edge of the slab and the pocket is grouted to prevent rusting of the cables.
8. Surfacing
Click for larger version	A variety of options include color-only surfaces, asphalt caps, and cushioned surfaces. World Class Color Options
9. Accessories
Click for larger version	A full compliment of supplies and accessories is available, including windscreens, lighting, benches, and other amenities.
