Stay cables,
a VSL leadership

Leader in the field of post-tensioning and related engineering, VSL has been applying the post-tensioning principle to stay cables since 1978 with a well-merited reputation for quality and efficiency of the in-house designed systems.

The VSL Stay cable system was developed to meet the stringent design, construction and maintenance requirements of cable-stayed bridges. VSL's research and development aims to improve compactness, aesthetics of the anchorage, dynamic stability of the cables and durability. A high degree of corrosion protection has been achieved with individual protection and encapsulation. Maintenance costs have been reduced.

Today's SSI 2000 system offers high fatigue resistance, enhanced corrosion protection, cable force monitoring, as well as strand adjustability, inspectability and replaceability. VSL can now deliver even faster installation and erection cycles. These developments are providing the optimized solutions for ever-changing and complex engineering requirements.
