•    Length tolerance 0,1 mm per meter.
•    Lifespan up to 40 years (depending on usage).
•    Maintenance free.
•    No electrical conduction.
•    Higher natural frequency.

(*) When compared at the same break load.

Cable-stayed bridges or suspension bridges are especially economical for medium to long-span bridges from 100 to 3500 meters. For smaller bridges, like footbridges, a cable stayed solution might be the choice just for weight reduction or aesthetical reasons. FibreMax lightweight precision cables are the right choice for stay cable constructions.
