Client: Base Structures (2011)

Tensile cable net structure for lighting installation

 
Working with Base structures & JMcCann the lighting contractor, THD engineered and designed this cable net entrance structure.  The conversion of the old underpass involved site surveys and extensive analysis in collaboration with Network rail and concept engineers Arup to ensure acceptable loads and a suitable anchoring system into the existing old brickwork of the underpass.
1200metres of stainless steel cable and 130 bespoke stainless steel clamps were designed and tested to ensure that the cables would not slip during service; it required a balancing act of clamping force to ensure sufficient grip but not over-stress the stainless steel.
