Post Tensioning (Monostrand)

Version: 1.0

Updated: 1 December 2024

Document Summary

This Safe Work Procedure outlines the safety measures and processes for post-tensioning monostrand concrete structures. All tasks must be performed by trained personnel following applicable Codes of Practice and Safe Work Method Statements (SWMS). Pre-start checks require inspecting materials, scaffolding, and equipment, ensuring calibration tags are current, and verifying scaffolding integrity. Proper precautions include erecting barricades and impact barriers to prevent unauthorized access and safeguarding workers from moving or flying parts.

Key tasks include the installation of ducting, tendons, and anchorages, ensuring proper alignment and secure positioning during concrete pouring. Stressing processes must adhere to designer instructions, with proper barricading and supervision during operations. Grouting and de-tensioning involve clearing ducts, monitoring pressure, and ensuring all grout waste is disposed of in compliance with environmental standards. Cleaning and maintenance protocols require equipment inspections, storage in dry conditions, and periodic calibration of jacks and gauges. These measures ensure safety and compliance during post-tensioning operations.
