Checking possible construction issues that might arise (lack of space,
replaceability, nominal gap for expansion joints, bearing plate and spiral
reinforcement size).
Proposing changes that lead to higher profit margins for both the company
and the client (different post-tensioning and construction sequence, different
type of expansion joint);
Preparation of post-tensioning reports and calculation sheets for bearings and
expansion joints.
