Structural tensioning wire & cable assemblies
Modern developments in construction technology have focused on the production of light sturdy structures. Wire and bar tension members are a key part of current systems and can be expected to further increase in relevance.
It is the aim of S3i to be at the forefront of developing such economic and versatile technologies. By combining an understanding of the relevent aesthetic and scientific principles, S3i are able to provide elegant yet reliable solutions to tension member problems.
Cable assemblies consist of a cable, two terminations and some method of tensioning the cable. The following systems demonstrate some of the most commonly used cable systems.

Structural cable system - C1
Two architectural adjuster fork sets with the cable terminated by swage studs. The swage studs are RH and LH which provides tension to the wire as it is rotated.
Structural cable system - C2
Two swage forks with an in-line tensioner at the centre of the wire. Tension is provided by rotating the central body. The body rotates but the wire remains static.
Structural cable system - C3
A static swage fork at one end of the wire with a fork/stud tensioner at the other end of the wire. Tension on the wire is achieved by rotating the stud/fork tensioner. The wire remains static and will not turn.
Structural cable system - C4
A similar system to System C3 above exept the wire is attached to the wire using compression terminals instead of a swage terminals.
