A structural cable of a construction work. The structural cable including a bundle of load-bearing tendons, a sheath within which the bundle of tendons is located, a housing located within the sheath and fixed relative to the sheath, said housing defining a cavity, the bundle of tendons being at a distance from the housing and the cavity, the bundle of tendons being located outside the housing and the cavity, said cavity extending longitudinally relative to the sheath.

A preassembled parallel wire cable creates a random cast of loops. Any of the random cast of loops is hung for transport, thus eliminating costly and time-consuming coiling and reeling operations.

The present invention relates to synthetic cables comprising core and splicing threads with high modulus threads, wherein the ends of the cable comprise looped or eyelet splice-type termination ends (1), and wherein each leg of the parallel splicing threads (13, 13′) is connected to parallel core threads (21) at an interpenetration region (12). The method comprises individually connecting each leg of the splicing threads (13) with a positive splice to a core thread(s) (21) of the beginning end of the cable (2); looping; straining all the threads and applying a normal compression force at the interpenetration region (12); applying a protective element(s) (32) along the cable and further individually connecting each leg of the splicing threads (21) to form a negative splice to a core thread(s) (21) of the final end of the cable core (2); and looping, straining and applying a normal compression force (12) on the negative splice at the interpenetration region.

Disclosed herein is a transport system, comprising an electrified static cable system, a carriage supported by a non-electrified static cable, an electrical drive system incorporated into the carriage—wherein the electrical drive system is utilized to move the carriage along the pair of parallel non-electrified cables, a transconnector configured to supply electrical power to the carriage, and a cabin mounted to the carriage. Corresponding methods of making and using the system also are disclosed.

Disclosed herein is a transport system, comprising an electrified cable system, a carriage supported by a non-electrified static cable, an electrical drive system incorporated into the carriage, the electrical drive system being utilized to move the carriage along the non-electrified static cable, a transconnector configured to supply electrical power to the carriage, and a power distribution panel. Corresponding methods of making and using the system also are disclosed.

The invention relates to the technological field of bridge structures, in particular to a long-service-life PWS cable with replaceable sleeve and shielding gas. It consists of wire strands, wrapping tape covering the wire strands, and a sheath arranged outside the wire strands, and is characterized in that the sheath is covered with an outer protective sleeve and shielding gas is filled between the wires in the wire strands. The wire strands of the present invention is completely under protection in a shielding gas environment which effectively avoids the corrosion of the wire strands; the protective sleeve outside the sheath of the PWS cable is a replaceable segmented and fragmented sleeve structure, which is convenient to be replaced and installed, substantially prolonging the service life of the PWS cable system with great promotional value achieved.
