A safe barrier
CMC Cable offers barrier cables for parking garages and other structures. Barrier cables require exactitude and expert implementation because pedestrian safety and your business liability are at stake.
We have been hired by businesses nationwide to implement expert barrier cable systems. Our work also includes fencing systems, barrier cable retrofits, code upgrades, restoration, replacement, and specialty services.
We offer a full range of barrier cable services, including fabrication in a PTI-certified plant, white-glove delivery, design, supply and installation, engineering support, and field service technicians to provide on-site project management assistance for system installation, stressing and sequencing.
Barrier Cable Types and Sizes
Barrier cable for parking structures and other large-scale projects must be engineered very specifically. Success starts with the right product. Our barrier cable is most typically a half-inch diameter strand. We can also accommodate other sizes if needed, depending on the project's requirements. Three kinds of barrier cable systems are:
- Galvanized
- Plastic coated
The most widely specified coating is Class A-ASTM A475 galvanization. Enhanced coatings include a zinc-aluminum alloy ASTM B750 Galfan, which enhances 3-to-1 corrosion performance.
Whether your goal is aesthetics and function or function alone, CMC Cable can work with you to ensure you have a solution that meets your project's requirements and provides only the highest safety and security.
Barrier Cable Anchorage and End Fittings
CMC Cable provides standard end anchorages and specialized end fittings. Our qualified engineers understand the exact formulas to ensure our barrier cables can handle the proper force.
Standard end anchorages are utilized where access for stressing is available on the back side of the terminating support. These anchorages may be either recessed into a concrete column or wall or be surface mounted.
Specialized end anchorage components are available where access is not available on the back side of the cable termination. The end anchorage fittings and components may be protected through hot dip galvanizing (ASTM A153) or zinc plating conforming to ASTM B633.
All end anchorages and specialized end fittings allow for back stressing, as the Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI) requires.
