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
which includes the assembly of an elevated slab with discussion between
the installers and inspectors on the key elements to a successful
project.
This workshop is offered in a split format with online content to be
conducted individually before the one-day in-person workshop.
This model is designed to reduce travel expense and allow
installers, building officials, engineers, and industry
personnel to obtain Level 2 Unbonded PT Installer or Inspector
certification. This workshop will enhance
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
for elevated
structures
.
If
you already have Level 1 Unbonded PT Installation or Inspection
certification
and need the Level 2 Unbonded PT Installer or Inspector certification,
