Yes

Excellent!

Si estás cerca te revienta cualquier párte de tu cuerpo la máquina pesa más o menos 80 lbs si te agarra ta cabron. Pero nada de eso pasa si el cable está bien y el concreto listo aparte el trabajo de los instaladores son muchas razones ten cuidado

New technology ? We started installing PT in houses in the late 80's now in Arizona over 80% of homes have it.

@@posttension3251 Good to know. Although I'm looking at it long term. Like how will it perform in 80+ years? I lived in a converted factory loft, it was built with rebar in the late 1800s. The thing is still solid w only small hairline cracks near the roofs from the 70's when they were neglected/abandoned - it's in the northeast so ice and rain is more of an issue here than in AZ. Complete speculation, but here's what I see happening with tension cables outside places like AZ - places that have weather: since tension cables are installed after the concrete dries the concrete near the anchors (the outer edges) will start to crack or near the center since tension is not equally distributed. Since the cables can shift inside the tubes, all it takes is one anchor to fail for the entire cable to be rendered useless. Once one cable fails the rest will follow.

@@posttension3251 I was just listening to some southern builders and they're saying PT foundations will cost at least 4 times that to repair compared reinforced slabs....dunno. I get why they use it for bridges and high rises but for residential I don't think I'd choose it.

Post tension cables have been around since the “70’s and used heavily in commercial hi rise construction since then.

Yes

Yeah you dont want to stand behind or in front of the cable in case of a pull through ( its where you pull the metal cable too far) the ram will shoot out of the hole and will break a bone. And you shouldnt stand behind the cable (on top of the concrete slab behind it) because if the ram were to fall off of the cable it will swing back and hit you and it will hurt and cut you

It was a fun job and the views were amazing at sunset. I remember Lenard.

@@nickfennel I took my wife up to the observation deck where the FAA light is and she got so scared that I had to help her down. Thanks for posting this video!

Trust me dude you'll most definitely win

duck job small $

The two wedge anchors he put in there after pulling the cone out.

wedges

Magic 🪄

The 2 metal wedges that the guy put in the cavity prior to stress , they bite in to the cable . The machine pulls and i also setting in the wedges at the same time , so when u take the Jack off they stay

It’s not called a tensioner, it’s not called a jack, it’s called a fucking RAM!

Michael Norsby I’ve heard electrical tools get called many different things by many different people

Out here on mars we call it a puller.

William McCullough yes

@@nickfennelDo they allow public access to the roof? Or do you have to be a maintenance worker to go up there?

@619AGT yes you can get up there
