Post-Tension Cable Repair

Post-tension cables are embedded in concrete slabs, parking decks, and elevated structures to manage tensile stress and maintain structural integrity. When cables corrode, break, or are accidentally cut during renovation work, the surrounding concrete is at risk of cracking, deflection, and progressive failure. Without timely repair, localized damage can spread and significantly expand the remediation scope.

AWR Inc. performs post-tension cable repair as part of a comprehensive concrete restoration approach, serving commercial buildings, parking structures, hotels, and multi-unit properties across Virginia, Maryland, and North Carolina.

• Post-tension tendon inspection and assessment
• Broken or corroded cable repair and replacement
• Concrete restoration at repair locations
• Protective grouting and sealant application
• Crack injection at compromised slab areas
• Protective coating application following restoration
• Coordination with structural engineers of record

Post-tension cable repair requires careful assessment before any work begins. AWR works alongside structural engineers to identify the extent of deterioration, confirm cable condition, and define a repair scope that restores both structural integrity and waterproofing protection. Our project managers communicate proactively throughout — with the property owner, the facilities team, and the engineer of record — so there are no surprises at any stage of the project.

AWR holds a Class A commercial contractor license and carries full insurance. Our crews are experienced in the specific demands of concrete restoration on occupied commercial properties, including phased access, noise management, and clean daily closeout.
