Stahlbush Digester Tank

Using post tensioning for circumferential reinforcement is gaining popularity due to its inherent advantages. The lighter, thinner slabs allow for a highly durable increased capacity storage tanks. Using PTC as the post tension supplier further increases the benefits as PTC provides easy to read, detailed drawings that make installing the tendons run smoothly.

Village Commons

The Village Commons was designed to fit in with the urban charm of Stanwood. The aesthetics include multiple façade textures and colors along with a rounded Eastern face. This curved face and multiple level construction made The Village Commons a perfect candidate for post tensioning. PTC supplied the post tensioning for the second floor of this four story project. The flexible nature of the tendons allowed them to bend with the structures curve for continuous reinforcement.

Redmond Park and ride under construction

Redmond

This three story parking structure located on 1.4 acres will be providing 386 new parking stalls to the city of Redmond. Metro is funding this 10 million dollar project to improve the bus routes and decrease traffic congestion. The design implemented post tensioned beams approximately 26’ apart with distributed tendons running perpendicular over the beams through the slab. In addition, temperature tendons were added between bays to reduce cracking. To ensure American jobs were protected with the construction, only American made post tensioned cables were provided by PTC.

2201 West Lake

The construction for the 450,000 sq ft project began in early 2007 and will be completed in the Spring of 2009. 2201 Westlake features a ground floor of retail space with office space and condo units attached. The post tensioned slabs integrated an under floor air distribution system, allowing individual offices to control the temperature and airflow. The thinner post tensioned slab design allowed for large windows and high ceilings creating plenty of natural light. With these and other eco-friendly designs, 2201 Westlake is aiming to become LEED Silver certified.

Mountlake terrace Transit completed

Mountlake Terrace Transit Center

The Mountlake Terrace Transit Center opened February 23rd featuring a five level garage with 890 parking spaces. This project needed to be completed in a timely manner so as not to interrupt the bus routes and surround parking for too long. To accomplish this goal, PTC supplied Field Fixed Intermediates from GTI. Each level was divided into two pours with a construction joint separating them. The tendons pulled toward the building outer edges while the field fixed intermediates held the cables at the construction joint. This allowed the concrete to be pour for each side a day apart and the tendons stressed altogether.

Nintendo Parking Garage

This four level project incorporates distributed tendons in 5 and 6 inch slabs, reinforced by post tensioned beams. Each level was separated into several pours with a total of 275,250 sq ft when completed. To make construction smoother, PTC supplied each pour individually bundled for a more organized job site. When completed, this parking garage will provide 820 new parking spaces for the Nintendo campus.

Bravern almost complete

Bravern

A 1.6 million sq ft project, this four tower structure proved to be one of PTC’s most extensive jobs. Not only did PTC provide the post tensioning, but also barrier cable and bonded beams. PTC provided detailed drawings that were updated with every revision, making the installation of post tensioning easier. When completed in 2010, these buildings will provide high end shops and 450 new condos to the ever growing City of Bellevue.

Ashwood Commons

Viewing this odd shaped building from the ground makes it look like it defies gravity. Making this effect possible would be the post tensioned slabs and bonded beams. With cantilevered decks and odd column arrangements, the Ashwood Commons makes great use of the post tensioning system supplied by PTC. This majestic mixed use project will total 23 floors when completed and add new character to the Bellevue neighborhood.

Bellevue towers rise above city

Bellevue Towers

With one of its towers reaching 450 feet and 43 floors high, this double tower structure rivals the Lincoln Towers for current tallest building in Bellevue. The widespread and irregularly placed columns allowed for better use of floor space and were made possible by a post tensioning system provided by PTC. PTC works with engineers and contractors to draw and deliver exactly what was designed by the project engineer.

University of Washington Parking Garage

PTC is innovative when it comes to barrier cable and the University of Washington Parking Garage is an example of a job well done. The galvanized bare strands evenly spaced and pulled to required strength allow for an aesthetically pleasing vehicle barrier. PTC supplies parts and extensive knowledge for installing a system that can be easily replaced and also be cost effective.

Mukilteo Staybridge under construction

Mukilteo Staybridge Suites

The Mukilteo Staybridge Suites have a unique post tensioning floor system in that it is 15 inches thick, but proved to be no match for the PTC detailers. With a 15 inch slab and no drop caps, special studrails had to be ordered to prevent punching shear forces over the columns. PTC works closely with Deacon, a studrail supplier, to make sure the properly sized studrails make it to the job site in a timely manner along with easy to understand drawings for installation. This project looks forward to opening in 2009.

Snohomish County Underground Garage

To start this project a 90 foot deep hole was dug in the ground in 2002. Two years, seven decks and 8000 tendons later, Snohomish County can now provide 1200 more parking stalls. The 8000 tendons were part of a bonded beam post tensioned system supplied by PTC.

Meridian

This beautiful, six story condominiums located in Salem took advantage of the cost savings that comes from using PTC post tensioning systems. With thinner slabs the overall height of the building was reduced making less material required for the stone and brick façade. The end result is an elegant building with saving on the price of construction.

Centerpoint West Parking Garage

This Alaskan job was designed with tenant safety in mind; the parking garage features plenty of lighting and openness. This was made possible by the post tensioned slab design which allows for greater spans between columns. PTC supplied the post tensioning and barrier cable to this project which opens in Febuary 2010.
