Freyssinet International Manila Inc.

The Freyssinet cable-stay system is the best solution for reducing bridge weight while increasing span, allowing significant savings in materials and a lower environmental footprint. Its efficient design also helps reduce construction time, improving project delivery. Engineered for durability, the system offers a proven design lifetime of up to 100 years, ensuring long-term performance, safety, and reliability for modern bridge structures. 

Freyssinet’s post tensioning systems deliver enhanced durability, greater load capacity, and optimized structural performance. We manufacture our own highprecision anchorages, ensuring maximum reliability, quality control, and seamless integration across all applications.

Applications include: 

• Buildings (Beam & Slab) 
• Bridges (Beam & Box Girder) 
• Storage and Silo 
• Reservoir 
• LNG Tank 
• Concrete Dry Dock 

Expansion Joints are designed to ensure smooth, continuous traffic between structures while accommodating movements caused by creep, shrinkage, temperature variation, and live loads. Suitable for concrete, composite, and steel structures, especially bridge decks, they allow vertical movement for bearing replacement without dismantling. Covering movements from 20 to 1200 mm, expansion joints provide durability, low noise, corrosion resistance, efficient drainage, and high performance under heavy traffic and harsh environmental conditions. 

Structural bearings are designed to transfer loads between the superstructure and substructure while allowing necessary movement and rotation. Freyssinet offers several bearing solutions, including elastomeric bearings, mechanical bearings, and seismic bearings, each engineered to ensure safe load transfer and accommodate structural displacement.

With over 70 years of expertise, Freyssinet delivers innovative construction methods that shape some of the world’s most iconic infrastructure. From insitu works to advanced prefabrication, we use stateoftheart equipment such as form travellers, launching gantries, and lifting systems to build safer, stronger, and more efficient structures. Every solution is engineered, designed, and executed with Freyssinet excellence. 

Lifting and handling are complex operations that often influence the successful completion of a project. They demand absolute control over the stresses induced in the structure from the start to the end of the operation. Freyssinet has therefore developed a range of specific lifting and handling equipment, with real-time control and precision enabling the most stringent requirements to be met in terms of managing reactions and movements at the jacking points. 

Freyssinet’s offering includes: 

• strand lifting and lowering 
• lifting and jacking structures, 
• handling of structures, 
• structure sliding (Autoripage®, Autofonçage®, air pad sliding). 

Freyssinet, a leader in geotechnical engineering, brings decades of expertise in ground anchors and soilstructure solutions. We design and manufacture highquality anchoring systems that meet international standards. Our anchors support excavation stability, prevent landslides, reinforce dams, secure quay walls, strengthen tunnels, and provide reliable foundations for towers and structures on weak or wateraffected ground. 

Additional prestressing involves applying external forces to an existing structure—whether concrete, masonry, or timber—to improve its stress condition. This method restores the structure to its intended performance level or enhances its loadcarrying capacity, ensuring safety, durability, and extended service life. 

Freyssinet International Manila Inc. delivers advanced concrete rehabilitation using Foreva® Dry Shotcrete solutions. Designed for precise reprofiling, this method ensures strong adhesion between new and existing concrete while effectively treating cracks, spalling, and corrosion. Ideal for various structural elements, dry shotcrete provides durable, stable, and reliable performance with minimal site disruption.

We provide advanced cathodic protection solutions to prevent corrosion and extend the lifespan of reinforced concrete structures. Using global expertise and innovative technology, we deliver reliable, efficient, and tailored protection, ensuring enhanced structural integrity, reduced maintenance, and long-lasting performance for complex environments.

Strengthen structures with Freyssinet’s Carbon Fiber Reinforcement Solutions. Lightweight yet incredibly strong, our carbon fiber systems enhance concrete and steel durability, boost load capacity, and provide seismic resilience. Expertly applied by our skilled team, they deliver long-lasting performance with minimal disruption, making them the smart choice for retrofitting, repairs, and structural upgrades. 

Freyssinet delivers comprehensive steel strengthening solutions designed to enhance the performance, safety, and service life of existing steel structures. Our expertise covers a full range of rehabilitation and upgrade works, including sandblasting and surface preparation, installation of additional steel plates, replacement of gusset plates, and the application of durable protective coating systems.

All strengthening works are executed in accordance with internationally recognized standards  ensuring precision, durability, and long-term structural reliability. By integrating engineered reinforcement techniques with strict quality control, Freyssinet provides a cost‑effective alternative to full replacement—restoring load‑carrying capacity, improving structural integrity, and extending operational lifespan.

Our solutions bring together global expertise, advanced methodologies, and proven execution to deliver safe, efficient, and resilient steel strengthening works for a wide range of structures.

• The structure is isolated from the movement of the ground using flexible connections, mainly reinforced rubber bearings or sliding systems, to increase the fundamental period of vibration of the structure to be protected and reduce the response to seismic acceleration. Acceleration can be divided by a factor of two or three on structure featuring such systems. 
• Isolator efficiency is directly related to horizontal stiffness and leads to major displacement of the structure during a seismic event. 
• The effects of structural isolation therefore result in a clean low frequency, low acceleration and high relative displacement. 

Our approach focuses on controlling structural displacement during earthquakes to ensure safer, more reliable connections between adjacent structures. By limiting movement, we simplify the design of grids, expansion joints, and other interface systems—reducing stress, minimizing damage, and improving overall resilience. This value-driven solution enhances structural performance while optimizing constructability and long-term durability. 

Freyssinet provides high‑performance dissipation systems designed to absorb and reduce energy during seismic and dynamic events. Our dampers minimize structural displacement, lower stress on key components, and enhance overall resilience. They can be used alone or combined with isolation systems to improve protection for both new and existing structures.

By reducing repair costs and helping essential facilities remain operational after earthquakes, Freyssinet’s dissipation solutions deliver reliable, efficient, and long‑lasting structural safety.

Seismic retrofitting increasingly relies on advanced technologies such as base isolators, energy dissipating dampers, and enhanced seismic joints to protect existing structures in earthquake prone areas. Base isolation systems work by decoupling the structure from ground motion, allowing the building or bridge to move more gently and reducing the seismic forces transmitted to its framework. Complementing this, modern damping devices absorb and dissipate vibration, effectively limiting structural drift and reducing stress on critical components. Meanwhile, seismic joints ensure that adjacent structures or structural segments can move independently without impact or connection failures during strong shaking. Meanwhile, upgraded seismic joints ensure that adjacent structures or structural segments can move independently without impact or connection failures during strong shaking. Together, these systems represent a performance-based approach to retrofitting—one that prioritizes controlled movement, improved energy dissipation, and overall resilience—helping existing structures and its occupants achieve a substantially higher level of safety during earthquakes.
