The original “SuperLine” Polyester is constructed with parallel-laid, Polyester sub-ropes encased in a polyester braided jacket. Its unique compact splice allows for shorter lengths in slings. The non-load bearing jacket protects the core from damage and can be easily repaired. The rope is torque neutral and will not rotate under load or lose strength when wet. SuperLine Polyester’s high strength to cost ratio, moderate elongation properties, and long life make it an ideal choice for many applications.
Bridon-Bekaert manufactured the cable assemblies and provided installation and tensioning equipment and assistance for the Newport City Bridge in Wales, UK.
