What Typically Goes Wrong:

Incorrect placement of embeds results in very costly delays.  Other parts of the project may interfere with the cable system.

How Pacific Barrier Cable Resolves These Issues:

By working very closely with cement and steel contractors we insure all aspects of the cable system work seemlessly together.

• Design: The first step in barrier cable installation is to survey the site and design the barrier system. This involves assessing the building to determine the appropriate placement (through columns, face mounted or betwween columns) of the barrier cables and identifying any obstacles such as drain pipes, electrical or other factors that may affect the installation process.
• Preparation: The next step is to prepare the site for installation. This may involve fabrication and placement of embeds, through column guides or support posts, and installing foundations or footings.
• Installation of Posts and Supports: Once the site is prepared, the posts and supports for the barrier cables are installed. These supports can be made of various materials, including concrete, steel.
• Installation of Barrier Cables: Once the posts and supports are in place, the barrier cables are installed. This involves attaching the cables to the supports using clamps or other connectors, and tensioning the cables to the appropriate level.
• Finishing and Testing: Finally, the installation is completed by finishing any necessary details such as adding end terminals or transition sections.

It is important to note that the specific installation process can vary depending on the design of the barrier system, the site conditions, and other factors. Professional installation companies are typically responsible for designing and installing barrier cable systems, as these systems require specialized expertise and equipment.
