CARES Certification: Ensuring Excellence
At Interspan, we are proud to be the only post-tension contractor in Australia accredited under CARES APT04 for the supply and installation of post-tensioning systems in concrete structures and CARES APT01 for the production and supply of post-tensioning anchorage systems.
This reinforces our position as the market leader in terms of best practice in both quality and workmanship for post-tension works in the building construction space.
CARES Independent Certification
CARES, an esteemed global independent certification body, plays a crucial role in instilling confidence in the users, purchasers, and specifiers of reinforcing steel and post-tension. It achieves this by implementing a comprehensive system of regulation, testing, and inspection and offers certification schemes for companies primarily within the reinforced concrete sector.
CARES certification ensures Interspan complies with the major specifiers’ quality requirements, providing additional quality assurance on all its post-tensioning projects.
CARES Appendix PT 1
Interspan is the only PT contractor in Australia accredited under CARES APT01 for the production and supply of post-tensioning anchorage systems.
The Interspan post-tensioning anchor kit has been developed in-house and tested as a complete system of anchor, block, and wedges in compliance with AS1314 and ETA (EAD 16004-00-0301) requirements, including static load transfer and fatigue testing. The maintenance of this accreditation requires regular audits of our PT kit suppliers to ensure compliance with both the material properties and critical parameter dimensions of our specifications.
CARES Appendix PT 4
Interspan is the only PT contractor in Australia accredited under CARES APT04 for the supply and installation of post-tensioning systems in concrete structures. We are, therefore, required to regularly train and assess the competencies of all our site operatives. Operatives are issued CARES cards detailing their level of competency.
