The document discusses parking issues at universities and potential solutions using post-tension construction technology. It notes that rising enrollment is putting strain on already limited parking. Managing existing parking supply through comprehensive analysis of parking and transportation systems could help reduce demand. Post-tension construction allows for larger column-free spans economically, with benefits like crack control, reduced building depth, and improved seismic load behavior - making it a viable solution for building additional parking capacity at universities.

Unbonded post-tensioning has made it possible for owners, designers, and builders to see their
projects come to life with:
 Exceptional design flexibility and aesthetically pleasing architecture.
 Superior strength, durability, and fire resistance.
 Fast and efficient construction schedules.
 Long design lives with low maintenance requirements.
Value engineering with effective construction practices and hard work to deliver Post Tensioning all over Pakistan
PARKING ISSUES
The design and management of parking supply affects the
livability and walkability of any area.
Building additional parking without managing the existing
supply can induce driving and increase the demand for even
more parking.
Managing the existing supply can be a cost-effective way to
reduce demand and increase the attractiveness of
underutilized parking spaces.
Parking is more than a necessary element of mega city like
Karachi.
PARKING GRIEVENCES AT UNIVERITY CAMPUS
Parking is one of the most widespread and frustrating
problems afflicting Top Pakistan colleges and universities.
Rising enrollment numbers are one of the main reasons that
so many institutions are facing parking shortages.
Increase in enrollment putting a severe strain on a service
that’s already at the breaking point.
Today’s students are products of a “car culture” that urges
them to drive to destinations
To combat the shortages, colleges and universities need to
conduct comprehensive analyses of their parking and
transportation management systems
PARKING SOLUTIONS USNIG POST TENSION CONSTRUCTION TECHNOLOGY &
BENEFITS:
 Columns free large Spans.
 Economic Construction for longer spans with heavy load bearing
capability.
 Low Maintenance as post-tensioned floors are relatively crack free.
 Crack Control and Water-tightness by placing the floor bi-axial
compression.
 Reduced Structural Depth as the floor-to-floor size reduces.
 Improves behavior in Seismic Loads.
