Tensyland installations, consisting of machinery to manufacture beams and prestressed concrete hollow core slabs, were first built in 1970. Since then, the installation has evolved a lot and has been incorporating new features in line with the latest technology of the moment.
The origin of Prensoland dates in 1959. The company comes from a small workshop that was commissioned to develop three presses to manufacture precast concrete products, in order to be used in construction. After a decade of activity, Prensoland began to develop the installations for the production of prestressed beams and hollow core slabs. The company acquired the patent of Tensyland molding, which optimized very soon.
Then we have created a timeline of he company, noting key datesin the history of our Tensyland process.
1959- Prensoland S.A. is founded
1960- Starts the production of pre-stressed T-beams
1966- First casting machine for hollow core slabs
1967- The máximum height of HCS reaches 500 mm
1972- First development of the HCS top and side marking
1975- Appearance of the mechanism for exposed wires
1979- New development for the insertion of stirrups on the HCS and T beams for application in seismic zones
1981- Travelling over the abutment for steel cable saving
