Jiangyin Bridge - cable band inspection
A 12-bolt, 1,800mm cable band assembly undergoing dimensional inspection prior to packing. All cable band castings were inspected ultrasonic and magnetic particle non-destructive testing prior to machining.
Corrosion protection of cable bands is vital to the long-term life of a suspension bridge. Metal spraying with zinc is followed by further protection from sea water corrosion with a multicoat two-pack epoxy resin paint system. |
