Post-Tension Courts
Post-Tension Concrete
Post-tension slabs add value and protect your long-term investment. Post-tensioned slabs are
extremely durable and long lasting, resist cracking, have no intervening joints, and also
have better surface uniformity and predictability of play. The courts are built with
tension cables placed in both directions as per design engineering specifications
within the concrete slab. After the concrete has been placed, the tendons are
tensioned to 33,000 psi.
At Hellas Construction, skilled post-tension concrete crews have extensive experience and industry knowledge to successfully construct, place, and guarantee the level of quality required by professional-level venues.

Advantages of a Post-Tension Slab:
- Ability to span across unstable soils
- Increased resistance to localized settling
- Minimized crack maintenance
- No intervening joints
- Controlled slope for drainage
- Predictable playing surface
Leveling the Site
The sub base is leveled out to within tolerance, the forms are placed, and a vapor barrier is put down to prepare for concrete placement.
INSTALLING TENSION CABLES
Encapsulated tendons are placed in both directions, with spacing that is determined by design engineering specifications.
PLACING CONCRETE
Concrete is pumped into place and precisely level using either a laser or manual screed to ensure strict tolerance is achieved.
CONCRETE FINISHING
Using a riding-trowel specifically designed for working over large areas of concrete, the slab is finished ensuring planarity and a uniform texture across the entirety of the courts.
APPLYING TENSION
As the concrete is curing, the slab is partially stressed, with a final stress to 33,000 psi to follow.
COURT SURFACING
Multiple coats of TPS 5000 Color coating is used to surface the concrete. The heavy-bodied system provides superior filling and leveling guaranteeing a uniform finish.
LINE PAINTING
The lines for the newly constructed courts are taped off based on the desired sports. Hellas crews will then apply a coat of sealer to guarantee a crisp stripe at every edge. After the sealer has dried, the lines are painted.
ADD-ONS
A full line of accessories is available to customize each court, including fencing, windscreens, custom logos, cabana benches, and more. To see the full list of options, visit our add-ons page.
