CABLE SYSTEMS FOR STADIA
Teufelberger-Redaelli cable systems are particularly well suited to lightweight cable supported tensile roofs. Cable supported roofs significantly reduce and minimize the weight & forces of roof structures when compared to traditional conventional steel truss & concrete compression roof structures. Teufelberger-Redaelli’s team of experienced Engineers have decades of experience and the necessary engineering & project management resource to deliver a complete roof package approach. From providing up front design assist advice, to construction engineering, to site installation & tensioning, through to in service inspection and maintenance, you have the peace of mind knowing that Teufelberger-Redaelli will provide a holistic approach to link all these crucial activities together under one package.
The cable system, prefabricated in the factory using the highest quality cable, sockets, socketing and finishing, will fulfil the design and installation needs of your project. Our range of high-performance steel cables can be either supplied using Full Locked Coil (FLC) ropes or Open Spiral Strands (OSS). Both solutions are available with poured spelter cone type sockets (resin or zinc filled) or with pressed swaged sockets depending on the cable diameter and the project requirements and specifications.
High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) can be applied to structural cables for improving corrosion protection, increasing visibility and for architectural, aesthetic reasons. This option has an impact on the sockets choice which are specifically designed and manufactured to accommodate the additional HDPE layer within the socket neck. Teufelberger-Redaelli’s HDPE sheathed cables are designed and produced to extend and prolong the cable systems lifespan, offering a good resistance to oils, water, chemicals and abrasions.
Generally stainless-steel cables are selected in applications where the cable system is highly visible or as an architectural feature for example transparent facades, glass curtain wall facades, exhibitions and convention centre halls, pavilions, footbridges and cable net roofs. Stainless steel cables are available as Full Locked Coil (type FLX) or Open Spiral Strand (type OSX).
Teufelberger-Redaelli has a specialist team of site technicians supported by construction engineering expertise and an extensive fleet of industry leading installation and tensioning equipment.
Whether in a new build environment or in a renovation and replacement of an existing structure our dedicated site engineering team are available to discuss the challenges of your project. They can offer standard and customised installation and tensioning solutions to suit your site conditions and constraints.
