Post tensioned concrete wall

Post tensioned concrete wall

(OP)
Is there any way for the naked eye to tell if an existing concrete wall is post-tension construction?

RE: Post tensioned concrete wall

Go to the roof and look for the stressing heads....or get the building drawings.....or perform NDT.

PT Walls aren't too common though.

Thanks for that answer.  Inspecting the roof isn't usually part of our survey, but it's good to know that there is something we can look for if the construction is in question.  

Thanks again!
