Structural cables and strand systems are among the most demanding applications in civil engineering — carrying permanent loads measured in thousands of tonnes, exposed to weather and corrosion for decades, and installed with tolerances measured in millimetres.
WireCo, through Camesa, manufactures structural strand and cable products for cable-stayed bridges, suspension bridges, post-tensioned structures, and architectural applications. Our products are engineered for the specific fatigue, corrosion, and load distribution requirements of long-span infrastructure.
With project engineering support from concept through installation, WireCo delivers complete cable solutions — not just material supply — to structural engineers and contractors worldwide.
The problems WireCo products are engineered to solve.
Recycled plastic structural elements must meet the same load-bearing and deflection standards as traditional timber, concrete, or steel alternatives.
Structural products in marine, chemical, and outdoor environments face UV degradation, chemical attack, and freeze-thaw cycling.
Building codes and infrastructure standards require extensive testing and certification before recycled plastic products can be specified in load-bearing applications.
Higher upfront material costs must be offset by reduced maintenance, longer service life, and elimination of chemical treatment requirements.
Camesa structural strand is manufactured with high-strength galvanized wire and precisely controlled lay lengths that deliver consistent mechanical properties across the full cable assembly. Our strand products are designed for the specific load, fatigue, and corrosion requirements of bridges, stadiums, and post-tensioned structures.
WireCo's structural cable systems use a layered corrosion defense strategy — zinc-coated wires, strand fill compounds, HDPE sheathing, and anchorage sealing — that protects the cable system from the inside out. This approach extends service life well beyond the typical inspection intervals for exposed infrastructure.
WireCo provides engineering support for cable system design, anchorage detailing, and installation sequencing. Our team works with structural engineers and contractors from the early design phase to ensure cable geometry, tensioning procedures, and load distribution meet the project specification.
