Spiral Prestressed Concrete Strand
The spiralpre-stressed strand is made using spiral technology that represents the best ofour research and development program. It features a high mechanical propertyand good bond strength to concrete. It is widely used in hollow floors, railwaysleepers, PC cables and many other pre-stressedconcrete structures.
