Amorebieta Pedestrian Walkway: GALFAN 1×37 Cable Tie Rods
The execution of modern urban infrastructures demands components that ensure maximum durability and an agile logistical response to avoid on-site delays. Cables Estructurales has supplied the stay systems for the new Amorebieta Pedestrian Walkway, utilizing 1×37 steel cables with GALFAN coating, a leading solution for projects demanding high weather resistance and structural stability.
Advantages of GALFAN Coating in Bridges and Walkways: For a project exposed to the weather conditions of northern Spain, the choice of steel protection is a critical factor.
- Superior Anti-Corrosive Protection: The GALFAN coating (a zinc-aluminum alloy) provides up to twice the protection against oxidation compared to standard hot-dip galvanizing.
- 1×37 Cable Configuration: With a diameter of Ø28 mm, this cable offers an optimal balance between mechanical flexibility and a high breaking load, ideal for staying pedestrian structures.
What is GALFAN cable and why is it used in walkways? It is a structural steel cable with a special coating of zinc (95%) and aluminum (5%). It is used in walkways and bridges because it more efficiently halts environmental corrosion, maintains cable integrity for more decades, and reduces long-term maintenance costs.
St. Andrew’s Crosses for Elevator Structures: The project’s universal accessibility required the installation of urban elevators, where our solutions were once again key:
- Elevator Tower Bracing: We supplied the tie-rods for the St. Andrew’s crosses (cross-bracing), essential for absorbing lateral forces and preventing twisting in the elevator structures.
- Total Technical Support: Our technical office provided continuous advice to the site management, ensuring that every terminal and anchor adapted millimetrically to the structural calculation requirements.
- Record Manufacturing Times: Our production capacity allowed us to deliver materials quickly, helping to meet the municipal project timeline.
Leaders in Cable Supply for Civil Works: At Cables Estructurales, we maintain a large stock of bars, cables, and accessories with international certifications. Our extensive experience in the construction sector positions us as the preferred strategic partner for engineering and construction companies.
