Reinforcing concrete after it's cast, not before.

Post-tensioning is a method of reinforcing concrete using high-strength steel strands tensioned once the concrete has already been cast. It lets a slab carry more load across a longer span with less material.

Founded in December 2021 by Pandala Chanakya, M.Tech (Structural Engineering), Offset Prestressing has built a diverse project portfolio in a short span — institutional, government, industrial, commercial, healthcare and residential structures across South India.

We specialise in the design and site execution of post-tensioned slab systems: longer spans, thinner sections and faster construction cycles than conventional RCC allows. From the first feasibility note to final grouting, the same engineering team stays with the project.

  • Longer spans, thinner sections and heavier loading capacity
  • Better stress and crack control
  • Lower steel consumption — cost-effective against conventional RCC
  • Swift construction cycles
  • Greater flexibility in floor layouts, with fewer columns
  • Increased clear heights between floors
The PT system

What goes into a tendon.

Every post-tensioned slab is built from the same core set of components, each doing one job in transmitting load through the tendon and into the concrete.

STRAND
Seven-wire steel strand — the main tensile element transmitting load through the tendon
ANCHOR PLATE
Hosts strands and wedges, resting on the cast-iron block embedded in concrete
ANCHOR HEAD
Transfers load from the strand into the surrounding concrete
LIVE WEDGE
Grips the strand and transfers load to the anchor plate through the anchor head
DUCT
Forms the void conduit through which strands are threaded
GROUT
Cement-based mix filling duct voids for protection and full bonding
