removing snow from diagonal cables by using scrapers
Accidents caused by snow and ice blocks falling from bridge members of about 60m in maximum height above the road surface have occurred in winter. These accidents have greatly affected the residents and road users. Our scrapers eliminate problems due to snow and ice blocks falling from cable-stayed bridges.
To remove snow from the cables, scrapers are set on the diagonal cables via resin rollers to avoid damaging the cables and are moved upward from the bases of the cables. Using this method, it takes 3 hours for four snow removal crews to remove snow on 128 cables. The method is more economical and effective than a system using heaters.
