through the pre-punched holes in the posts.

provide extra resistance to vehicle updraft and wind.
5.8 Installation of Tension Bays – All systems
Tension bays are located at 300m centres and not more
than 150m from either anchor point.
For fences less than 600m;
1. Attach safety check ropes to the wire ropes at the leading
or high-end anchor. Swage end fi ttings onto all cables
and attach to the anchor bracket. The bottom rope is
located nearest to the traffi c face. Each end fi tting is
secured at the anchor with one washer and two nuts.
2. Pull the slack out of the wire ropes toward the other
anchor. This can be achieved by hand or by using a
vehicle and sling equipped with a lever claw clamp.
3. At locations where wire rope reels have been temporarily
joined, swage end fi ttings onto cables and install tension
fi tting.
4. Once slack has been removed from cable, attach check
ropes, machine swage end fi ttings and attach to anchor.

5. Identify tension bay location(s) and if necessary attach
temporary clamps one post back from the tension bay.
6. Mark and cut out 800mm section of cable from each
strand.
7. Machine swage end fi ttings to each cable and attach the
turnbuckle.
8. Attach the tensioning rig to the bottom cable and
tension from the bottom up. Each rope is tensioned in
accordance with Table 2.
