Tianjin Wasungen Metal Products Co., Ltd. establishes itself as a premier PC strand supplier from China, explicitly exporting to Venezuela alongside other South American nations like Argentina, Brazil, and Colombia. Their robust prestressed concrete strands support Venezuela's reconstruction efforts in bridges, oil infrastructure, and urban housing amid renewed investment post-2025 stabilization.
PC strand, or prestressed concrete steel strand, features seven high-carbon steel wires twisted for tensile strengths exceeding 1860 MPa and relaxation rates below 2.5%. This material pre-compresses concrete to counter tensile stresses, perfect for long-span bridges over the Orinoco River and seismic-resistant high-rises in Caracas.
Standard diameters—12.7mm, 15.2mm, 15.7mm—include plain for bonded grouting, unbonded with HDPE/grease for post-tensioning flexibility, and galvanized/epoxy-coated for coastal corrosion in Maracaibo. The global market valued $3.36 billion in 2025, with 4.5% CAGR fueled by Latin America's recovery.
China commands over 50% of global PC strand output, dispatching from Tianjin to Venezuela through proven logistics networks. Wasungen produces plain, unbonded, galvanized, and epoxy-coated strands compliant with ASTM A416, GB/T 5224, and EN 10138, each accompanied by mill test reports.
Manufacturing covers wire drawing, stranding, heat stabilization, and precision testing for elongation and consistency. Pricing at $650-700 per ton delivers unbeatable value for Venezuelan importers.
Venezuela ramps up $15+ billion in projects through 2026, including Puente Orinoco II, PDVSA refinery upgrades, and Caracas metro expansions, leveraging oil rebound and foreign partnerships.[ adapted] Prestressed concrete dominates in flood-prone bridges and heavy-load platforms, where PC strand ensures durability.
Imports from China surge to offset local shortages, navigating selective tariffs via specialty certifications. Ports like La Guaira and Puerto Cabello handle efficient volumes.
Wasungen prominently lists Venezuela in its South American exports—Argentina, Bolivia, Brazil, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Guyana, Paraguay, Peru, Suriname, Uruguay—guaranteeing stable supply from Jinghai Economic Zone. Unbonded PC strand excels in flexible urban post-tensioning; galvanized protects petrochemical sites.
