BBR stay cable technology can be used for the following applications:

• Cable-stayed bridges – built in rapidly increasing numbers since 1950 and especially suitable for medium to long-span bridges from 100 to 1,000 m, where technical and economic factors dictate this solution. For smaller bridges, other parameters may be decisive in the choice of a cable-stayed solution – such as reduced depth of deck, construction methodology and aesthetics
• Arch bridges – where BBR stay cable technology is the solution of choice for the hangers
• Roofs – of grandstands, stadiums, aircraft hangars and other lightweight wide-span structures are an ideal application. Stay cable technology opens up a whole new range of possibilities for architectural creativity, as well as functional features and considerations. Cable-stayed solutions have been provided for arenas and stadia in Malaysia, Australia, Germany and the United Arab Emirates.
• Towers – for communication facilities, chimneys and antennas, as well as wind power stations can be stabilized.

Cable-stayed structures have a great potential when it comes to meeting the increasing demand for long span structures. Their advantages lie mainly in increased aerodynamic stability, reduced costs for the abutments and faster, easier construction and light overall structures. However, the most important factor in ensuring the durability and performance of a cable-stayed structure is the selection of a technologically advanced and proven stay cable system, such as the HiAm CONA range.

The BBR Network can provide a project-specific evaluation – taking structural capacity and the global interaction between cables and the structure into account, as well as erection requirements and the overall economics and availability of the various systems. This includes also support about cable vibration phenomena and our advanced cable damping solution BBR Square Damper. Contact us for more information.
