Steel cables inherently have a high strength-to-weight capacity and as a result less steel is needed, reducing sizes of support and increasing structural efficiencies. Known most for large bridges, cable nets are also excellent roof structures that optimize transparency, supporting glass, wood, steel, or fabric materials. The fully locked coiled rope provides maximum corrosion resistance and minimal shadow lines.
Our team can help you develop cable net systems ranging from overall geometries to FE engineering, to cable connections and clamping systems, to cladding alternatives. With 45 years+ of experience developing this technology from its early form to today’s state-of-the-art, the Lightweight Structures Group is here to help guide you in this specialized field of architecture.
