when my ESL Landlord had to do plumbing repairs when waste lines under kitchen started leaking on my Post Tension slab house, and of course she brought it ESL plumbers, with leak detection device, and they had to make at least two big holes in the concrete floor, I don't think they were using any X-Ray to avoid post tension cables.

I'd they just get lucky, or where they being careful and going slow, or does Post Tension always give room around where pipes would be, or WTF?

This is CA earth quake country.

Does "Slab Foundation" mean PT in Oklahoma and other flyover States, or do they just lay some rebar and call it good?

ps-not my pic, and I don't recall seeing rebar, but I wasn't much paying attention and stuff was covered when they were gone.

I don't understand hiding under a slab of concrete things that will need periodic maintenance. I bet you women and the stupid men that love them just love the aesthetics of not seeing how anything works.

>>2978900
how is being a moron knowing only one language makes you superior to said ESL landlord?

>>2978900

Those are drain lines. If there is standing water in them you have bigger problems.

tract home

google AI says they all are in this 'hood.

BTW, WTF is the Inspection process for PT slabs? I used to frame shit shacks where they were rolling production and don't remember seeing any PT inspectors, but I guess could be.

Wouldn't it require an Inspector baby sitting the PT process and watching guage stack tension, etc?

Never heard about that in concrete inspection.

Third worlder here. What's wrong with picrel? Here we'll just pour the entire thing with cement and tie the rebar and call it a day.
