Tensioning, a hydraulic jack is used.

Wires are gripped at the bulkheads, using split-

cone wedges. These wedges are made from tapered conical pins. Flat surface of the
pin carries serrations to grip the wire.
advantage in pre-tensioning system is that there is no expenditure on end anchorages
and on rubber core or metal sheath required for post-tensioning system.
cable is anchored at one end of the member and stretched using a hydraulic jack at the
other end. After stretching the cable is anchored at the other end also.
