Description

This manual is used in conjunction with PTI’s Level 2 Unbonded Post-Tensioning Inspector program. The course builds on the Level 1 – Field Fundamentals course and is designed to teach an inspector about the means and methods used to install post-tensioning systems. The manual provides guidance for inspecting installation, stressing and finishing of single strand, and unbonded post-tensioning tendons. It also covers troubleshooting and inspection of repairs and barrier cable systems.
