5/6 Arches is an iconic project serving as gateway to Doha’s West Bay Business District. The two arches are made of 10.000 tons of steel, with a structural cable net that comprises 90 tons of Full Locked Coil (FLC) cables and their sockets. Designed by AECOM and realized by HYUNDAI CONSTRUCTION and EVERSENDAI, it represents the heaviest steel monument in the world. Redaelli’s contribution to this land marking structure includes cables and clamps supply, engineering of cable net installation and tensioning and all related site activities. The net is composed by diagonal and valley cables, connected by 473 crossing clamps for a total mass of 80 tons. Clamps are specially designed with a modular scheme to accommodate for several angles at cable intersections. |
