Inspectors, Engineers, and others—are vital to ensuring the performance,
serviceability, and safety of post-tensioned concrete construction. PTI offers
several field certification programs with more than 1000 individuals certified each year. PTI offers many resources to aid personnel in obtaining certification.

Plant Certification Programs
PTI
offers two programs for certifying facilities producing materials used in
post-tensioning systems:
Certification of Plants Producing Unbonded Single Strand Tendons
- Launched in 1989, the first
program, Unbonded Single Strand Tendon Fabrication Facilities, is for
facilities that fabricate unbonded single strand tendons. Since its
inception, participation in the program has grown steadily. 63 plants are
certified, which represents approximately 95% of the industry's
production. In 2007, PTI added provisions to permit certification of
mobile fabricating facilities in addition to fixed plants. To

Certification of Plants Producing Prestressed Concrete
(PC) Strand
- The second program, PC Strand
Plants, launched in 2007 and is for factories that manufacture Prestressed
Concrete (PC) Strand. The program includes standardization of reporting
practices and documentation, as well as establishes required testing
procedures and specified minimum intervals. The certification of a factory
under this program indicates that the factory and personnel are capable of
producing PC strand in conformance with the program's requirements. To
date, six international plants in Asia and the Middle East have been
certified and inspections of additional plants are underway. To
