Post-Tensioned Concrete Tennis Courts: Strength from the Ground Up

When it comes to constructing tennis courts and other sport surfaces, post-tensioned concrete offers an innovative solution that combines durability, stability, and cost-effectiveness. Let’s dive into the details:

Definition: Post-tensioned concrete is a technique where concrete is poured over cables or tendons that extend from one end of the court to the other.

Mechanical Tightening: These cables are mechanically tightened as the concrete hardens.

• Long-Term Durability:
  • Post-tensioned concrete courts are renowned for their longevity.
  • The innovative technique involves encasing sheathed cables in a concrete slab.
  • Once the concrete sets, the cables are stressed and locked in place.
  • Result: Reduced repair and maintenance costs compared to asphalt courts.
• Key Benefits:
  • Span Unstable Soil: Post-tensioned concrete can span unstable soil conditions.
  • Resistance to Settling and Heaving: Constant cable compression helps prevent settling and heaving.
  • No Cold Joints: Eliminates cold joints around net and fence posts.
  • Uniform Playability: Provides better uniformity of play.
  • Consistent Slope for Drainage: Ensures efficient drainage.
  • Stable Aesthetic Edge: Creates a stable, aesthetic concrete edge.
  • Reduced Liability: Eliminates potential liability due to structural cracking.
  • Build on Existing Courts: Can be built on top of existing courts, saving demolition costs.
• Resists Cracking:
  • The post-tensioned slab remains durable and stable during weather fluctuations and extreme conditions.
• Utilizes Existing Sites:
  • Reduces removal costs and addresses potential unforeseen subgrade conditions.
