CHALLENGES
- Long-span fall protection
- Debris impact during high-water events
- No intermediate supports
- Controlling cable sag
SOLUTION
A high-tension horizontal lifeline system with heavy-duty end anchors was engineered and installed to span the entire dam, minimizing sag while withstanding debris exposure during high-water conditions.
Among our many lifeline projects was a long span lifeline for a hydro dam. Due to the potential for large debris (trees, ice jams) during high-water events, no intermediate cable supports could be utilized.
A high-tension horizontal lifeline system with heavy-duty end anchors was engineered and installed to span the entire dam, minimizing sag while withstanding debris exposure during high-water conditions.
The system spans the entire dam with a higher tension system that included heavy-duty end anchors to help keep the cable sag as low as possible. Nearly every horizontal lifeline has a few unique elements that require expertise and a lot of experience.
