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).
