This 3-day workshop outlines the
body of
knowledge that should be possessed by all personnel involved in the
installation and inspection of single strand unbonded post-tensioning
(PT) systems
for elevated
structures
. New in 2019: this workshop now includes a
field
demonstration

the installers and inspectors on the key elements to a successful
project.

installers, building officials, engineers, and industry
personnel to obtain Level 2 Unbonded PT Installer or Inspector

the knowledge and capabilities of installers and inspectors and other
key personnel involved in the field inspection of single strand
unbonded post-tensioning (PT) systems

elevated
