As the construction industry moves into the 21st Century, so the need for ever more efficient structural forms continues to grow. Taller, lighter, stronger… these are the words in the minds and on the lips of clients and architects around the world. As a result, more and more engineers are looking at the possibilities offered by Pre-stressed Concrete, Ground Anchors and Cable-Stayed Structures.
One company uniquely qualified to provide the necessary design assistance, expertise, hardware, and associated services for the new wave in construction is VLM Emirates Prestressed Concrete Works (LLC).
Increase clear spans, which give more flexibility in architectural design, As compared to steel, non-prestressed concrete and precast construction offer faster floor construction cycles, lower floor weight, lower floor-to-floor height, larger spans between columns and reduced foundations.
Thinner structural members (Spans of 7m to 8m ==> slab thickness 200mm)
Lighter structures andReduction in overall building mass, which is important in zones of high seismicity.
Mitigate cracking and deflection in the structure.
Storey height reduction
Rapid construction.
Less men Power
Economic construction (Post tension cost saving over all on structural work can be 25% depend on the spans).
Being the leader in research & development and also in the production of pre-stress and post-tensioning system, VLM had grown from strength to strength to become a market leader. By using high-strength steel strands or bars in pre-stress and post-tensioning, the concrete get strengthen and thus resulting in more efficient usage of construction materials. VLM produces a whole range of products from post-tensioning system, slab on grade, ring anchorage for concrete tanks, stay cable for bridges, thread bar, ground anchor for soil retention, grout system, stressing / hydraulic jacks & pump, and testing equipment.
VLM participation in numerous projects had made us a force to be reckoned with. Examples are bridges, elevated highways, railways, underground works, foundations, high-rise buildings, industrial parks, airports, sea ports, dams, concrete tanks, and special structures.
