Post-Tension Cable Foundation

  • Texas soil moves. Post-tension cable foundations move with it — without cracking under pressure.

Post-Tension Cable Foundation

A post-tension cable foundation is a modern, high-strength concrete slab designed to resist cracking, shifting, and long-term structural movement — especially in areas with unstable or expansive soils, like many parts of Texas.

Unlike traditional slabs, this foundation is reinforced with high-tension steel cables that are tightened after the concrete is poured. This process compresses the slab, increasing its strength and allowing it to flex slightly with soil movement instead of breaking.



Key Benefits:

  • Reduced Cracking: Cables keep the slab under constant compression to minimize stress fractures

  • Soil Movement Resistance: Ideal for expansive clay or shifting soils

  • Long-Term Durability: Less maintenance and fewer structural issues over time

  • Cleaner Finish: Fewer cold joints and more consistent surface performance



Whether you're building a new home or a light commercial structure, a post-tension foundation offers added strength, safety, and peace of mind from the ground up.



Stronger, smarter, and built to last — that’s the power of post-tension.
