Pre stressing concrete wire and strand

Pakistan Wire's high tensile steel wire and strand are used throughout the construction industry for pre-stressing concrete structures, either in situ or as precast.

The applications include flooring, bridges, concrete pipes, railway sleepers, panels, posts and ground anchors.

The advantages of stablished wire in pre-stressing of this material together with the method of production give an improvement in mechanical properties resulting in:

Higher breaking loads
Higher proportional limit and proof loads
Lower relaxation losses at ambeint and elevated temperatures
High ductility and grip efficiencies
Consistent stress strain characteristics
High resistance to fatigue and stress corrosion
