BASIC INSTRUCTIONS TO GUY WITH SYNTHETIC ROPES
WHEN PLANNING AN “ANCHORING SYSTEM” (GUY-ROPES WITH END TERMINATION, COUPLERS AND ANCHORAGE) THERE ARE A NUMBER OF FACTS THAT HAVE TO BE TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT:
The stability of the system is
1
determined by its weakest link. That is why it is no use combining a rope of 5000 kg of strength with a turnbuckle 500 kg strong.
Even the most excellent
2
synthetic rope is elastic – when guyed it elongates. In the layout of the tower and its
anchorage (even when xing
elements of the antennas) you have to reckon with this characteristic and always consider how the elongation of the anchoring system will affect the overall construction. In certain cases it will be necessary to use a stronger rope (with a smaller absolute extensibility),
than for other constructions that are not negatively affected by the elongation of the anchors. A problem occurs especially in such a case, when the ground anchor point is situated too close to the tower base, or when dealing with a
lattice tower with low exibility.
The rope must be screened
3
against all kind of sharp edges.
For this reason it is necessary to
x the rope with a thimble or tie
it to a coupler with a very smooth surface. Be aware of the fact that inappropriate metallic materials corrode and therefore their surface roughens. Never should you tie a rope to a concrete slope
or to a stone! If you do want to use a stone, a rock or a concrete slope as ground anchor point, we recommend using a loop from steel rope, which you can connect to the guy rope with the help of a smooth coupler.
A great danger for any
4
synthetic rope lies in friction against any object on its path. This can cause the rope to be seriously damaged or cut through, and has to be avoided at all cost. Even a guy rope on a tower can move enough to suffer friction damage if it touches anything along its length, so please locate your guys carefully. Particularly to be avoided
are trees and tree branches. If you are using a tree support for a wire antenna you must ensure that no part of the synthetic rope can get close enough to the tree to risk damage by rubbing. Always use steel rope near or in a tree. You could use a pulley on the end of a steel rope to keep the synthetic rope well clear.
The lower part of the
5
anchoring system should consist of steel rope 2-4 meters in length. This ensures that the synthetic rope isn’t “chewed up” by an animal or gets damaged by some human activity (intentionally or unintentionally).
