· ​Extreme Load-Bearing Performance: The large cross-sectional area and ultra-high breaking load provide the massive tensile capacity required for long-span and high-stress civil designs.
· ​Superior Low-Relaxation Stability: Advanced thermal-mechanical stabilization minimizes long-term stress relaxation, ensuring permanent, reliable prestressing force over extended structure lifecycles.
· ​Enhanced Mechanical Interlock: Optimized 7-wire helical geometry maximizes shear bond strength between the steel tendon and structural cement grout in post-tensioned configurations.
· ​Full Metallurgical Traceability: Manufactured under strict ISO 9001 protocols. Each commercial shipment includes a comprehensive Mill Test Certificate (MTC) detailing chemical composition and mechanical test logs.
​Engineered for heavy-load-bearing structures across large-scale civil, energy, and marine projects:
· ​Mega-Transportation Projects: Extra-long-span highway and railway bridges, cable-stayed bridges, continuous rigid frames, and viaducts.
· ​Energy & Heavy Infrastructure: Nuclear containment vessels, LNG concrete storage tanks, and heavy industrial foundations.
· ​Geotechnical & Marine Engineering: High-capacity ground anchors, rock slopes, dam stabilization, and deepwater port wharfs.
​Q: What international standards do your 17.8mm PC strands comply with?
A: Our 17.8mm heavy-duty steel strands comply strictly with ASTM A416, BS 5896, EN 10138, and GB/T 5224, matching the precise blueprint demands of global engineering contractors.
​Q: What is the standard export packaging and container load?
A: Coils are wrapped in moisture-proof plastic film and heavy-duty anti-rust woven cloth, secured with high-tensile steel strapping, and palletized for secure transport. A standard 20ft container loads approximately 20 to 27 metric tons.
​Q: Can we arrange third-party inspection prior to dispatch?
A: Yes. We fully support independent pre-shipment inspections and audits conducted by recognized global agencies such as SGS, BV, Intertek, or TUV.
