3.5 Anchor Block Wire Rope Installation

STEP DESCRIPTION
1 Using a standard wire rope tension gauge (not supplied), take tension measurements of all
wire ropes in this barrier. Confirm they are at the tension specified by the barrier system
manufacturer for that air temperature. Adjust the wire rope tension if necessary.
2 Identify a suitable pair of wires about halfway between the anchor block and the post. It
will probably not be possible to deflect these wires towards each other by 60mm, but 30-
40mm will be fine. Thus the pair of wires should between 190mm and 260mm apart before
installing the strain band. Using a suitable tool (e.g. coil spring compressor) pull both wire
ropes towards each other.
3 Install hose clamps on the side of the strain band closest to the anchor block, to prevent
strain band (gauge band) slipping down the wire ropes over time.).
4 Proceed to steps 3 to 5 listed in the 3.4 Standard Wire Rope Installation section.
