Fatigue
• 150 MPa amplitude testing
Locked Coil Cables – Fabrication
Cable length
• Cables need to be fabricated at the exact length in factory
• Cables need to be prestressed to reduce the time dependent deformations
• Remaining creep : about 1,5mm / 10m for large Ø
Coils
• Cable need to be coiled on large diameters ( usually 30x cable diameter)
• Turntables required for uncoiling without torsion for long cable
• Cable cleaning to be allowed for after installation
Locked Coil Cables – Installation
Tensioning
• Hydraulic jacks and transfer beams
• Collar retightening after tension
