Rope wire for cable ways (aerial rope-ways/mountain ropes/ski-lifts/material ways)

Advantages

  • High tensile strength leading to outperforming rope performance (= high breaking load for given rope diameter)
  • Excellent ductility on wire level leading to optimal bending fatigue properties on rope level
  • Wire suited for compacted and non-compacted purposes
  • High service degree and delivery reliability

Guardrail

Situation

In the US, medians are generally not protected by a guardrail, the resulting head-on accidents often take a huge toll.

Solution

The integration of a Bekaert cable in the K-12 rated median barrier system, developed by Gibraltar.

Result

A tight partnership between Bekaert and Gibraltar Cable Barrier System resulted in the installation of the new system in 15 different states across North America.
