bridges). Bekaert’ tension strands for cable stay bridges feature tensile strengths up to 2 16 0 M P a The strands are protected by layers of corrosion protective coatings (Figure 1). Inner w ax coating is completely water resistant and has been specifically designed for stay cables t he wax features have high mechanical stability, and offer additional corrosio n resistance to the metallic coating below. The final coating, HDPE sheath, consists of PE that has been tightly extruded around the strand. The standard wall thickness of the sheath is 1.5mm, though thicker sizes can be produced upon request.
