Neo-Cable Wrap
Neo Cable Wrap is a three-part cable protection system. The first layer is a neoprene caulk that is placed on the wire. The second layer is a wrapping of the cable with an uncured neoprene sheet that wraps upon itself in a spiral manner. The sheet is a cohesive and cures as a continuous membrane. The final layers is a hypolon paint coating (any color can be specified). The first application in the USA was on the Chesapeake Bay Bridge in 1973. After 30 years of service the cable was recently inspected and found to be in excellent condition. Other notable bridges that incorporate this system are the Brooklyn Bridge, the Williamsburg Bridge, the Delaware Memorial Bridge and the Akashi Bridge, the longest suspension bridge in the world, near Kobe, Japan.
