CABLE SYSTEMS FOR TOWERS AND WHEELS
Some of the most famous wheels in the world, including the London Eye and the Las Vegas High Roller Wheel have been made possible by Teufelberger-Redaelli cable systems, for both the large spoke cables and back stay cables. All cables have a specially designed “Surface treatment” as well as Teufelberger-Redaelli’s innovative, patented helical groove solution on the surface of the cables which reduce in service cable vibrations during each rotation of the wheel.
Thanks to the engineering, manufacturing and installation excellence of Teufelberger-Redaelli’s products you can be sure our quality assured cables are working hard to keep everybody safe to enjoy their stroll over their favourite suspension bridge, or to enjoy their ride on one of the world’s greatest giant observation wheels, or enjoy the comfort of inside the stadium which is protected by one of our cable net roofs. Redaelli cable systems are there to keep you safe.
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.
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.
