CWL's high tensile steel wire and strand are used throughout the construction industry for pre-stressing concrete or post-tensioning concrete structures in situ. Applications include flooring, bridges, concrete pipes, railway sleepers, panels, posts and ground anchors.
The advantages of stabilised wire and strand in pre-stressed concrete or post tensioned concrete structures together with the method of production give an improvement in mechanical properties result in:
Higher breaking loads
Higher proportional limit and proof loads
Lower relaxation losses at ambient and elevated temperatures
High ductility and grip efficiencies
Consistent stress strain characteristics
High resistance to fatigue and stress corrosion.
