Other Uses for Post-Tensioned Concrete Construction
Post-tensioned Concrete Overlay
Post-tensioned concrete courts can be placed over existing courts— with new fencing or by using the old fencing if it is in good condition.
Building post-tensioned slabs over badly cracked courts or even poor substrates can be accomplished.
Building over an old court saves demolition costs, landfill fees and the risk of uncovering subsurface instabilities. (old court in foreground, ready to place in middle and freshly placed in back)
A perimeter beam is excavated inside the existing fence line for anchoring the cables. A 3’ wide filler strip is needed to allow for tensioning of the cables.
Other Play Courts
In addition to tennis courts, other multi-use courts benefit from post-tensioned concrete construction.
Basketball Courts
Post-tensioned concrete basketball courts resist abuse such as skateboarding better than asphalt ones and without the necessary expansion joints of conven- tionally reinforced courts.
Volleyball and Pickleball Courts
Volleyball and pickleball courts can be combined by installing adjustable net posts
In-Line Hockey Rinks
In-line hockey rinks mandate joint-less, close-tolerance slabs for play.
Ice Rinks
Ice rinks can be created from flat tennis or basketball courts with or without cooling tubes
