Wire
Producing high quality wire demands the best raw materials available. To maintain these standards, Bridon has created strong links with its suppliers – from steel melting to rod rolling. These partnerships ensure that our products offer unbeatable quality and value. A technically advanced manufacturing process, combined with statistical process control (SPC), ensures conversion from raw material to a final product of the highest integrity. Bridon’s high carbon steel wire production facilities include substantial galvanising and patenting heat treatment processes. The company remains at the forefront of advances in micro-alloyed steels and other important material developments. Click here to download the Bridon High Carbon Wire Brochure Drawing from a background of long standing experience and technology, Bridon is an acknowledged world leader in the design, manufacture, development and supply of prestressing wire & strand to meet the needs of the construction industry. Recent years have seen the rapid development of stayed structures and in particular the stay cable bridge. Modern stay cable techniques allow installation of complete stay cables and at the same time offer the ability to replace individual stays if necessary. Fabrication and installation of stay cables using 7-wire strand have many similarities with post-tensioning. However, the demands exerted on the strand by a stay cable system are somewhat different and more onerous than is the case with traditional post-tensioning applications. In particular, the high stress variations imposed by bridge loadings on stay cables demand that the strand has a significantly improved fatigue performance in addition to the usual characteristics of prestressing stand. The strand must also have good resistance to multi-axial stresses and to stress corrosion. In order to achieve these high performance requirements, Bridon has developed a 7-wire strand specifically for stay cables with properties which are significantly enhanced over those of conventional strand.
