Cable Carrier assembly in Hanze Bridge Zwolle

Two specially designed Cable Carriers installed

Two specially designed cable carriers were installed in the Hanze Bridge and the cable and piping package was laid in the cable carrier. For this railway bridge of the Hanze Line near Hattem, Wisman Techniek developed a Cable Carrier to catch, guide and protect the cables when the steel bridge is extended. It was calculated that the approximately 1 km long steel bridge construction could vary in length by up to 800 cm. We installed two Cable Carriers at both bridge abutments. This Cable Carrier, designed and built by Wisman Techniek, is divided into three height levels. Separation was also created to separate data cables from electrical cables. The additional challenge here was that the cables had already been pulled and the Cable Carriers had to be built around them on site.

For the suspension of the Cable Carriers, special suspension brackets were designed and manufactured, also by Wisman Techniek.
