The bridge safety

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document discusses the use of Webnet systems by Jakob® Rope Systems for enhancing bridge safety. These systems feature flexible and transparent net structures made from stainless steel, offering various rope diameters and mesh apertures. They provide both active and passive protection for bridges, integrating seamlessly with architectural and historical structures.
Specifications: Webnet is constructed from stainless steel (AISI 316), making it suitable for outdoor applications due to its weather resistance and durability. It is certified for safety, requires minimal maintenance, and its load-bearing capabilities can be adjusted by selecting different rope diameters and mesh sizes. It complies with EN 1263-1 standards and has DIBt Approval Z-14.7-557.
Project Implementation: The process from project conception to realization can take years, involving initial requests from stakeholders, planning, material sampling, load testing, feasibility calculations, and visualization. Jakob AG provides turnkey project management, ensuring high-quality production and installation.
Case Studies: Examples of Webnet installations include the Kirchenfeld Bridge in Bern, the Hochbrücke in Rottweil, and the Panoramabrücke in Saas-Fee. Each case details specific Webnet configurations, including rope diameters, mesh apertures, and supporting structures.
Design and Aesthetics: The Webnet system is noted for its discreet appearance, compatible with high-value architectural and historical structures, ensuring safety measures do not detract from visual appeal.
Key Projects: Notable projects include the Haggen Bridge in St. Gallen, Ganter Bridge in Valais, Eiffel Tower in Paris, Hohe Brücke in Obwalden, and the Historic City Wall in Berne, each utilizing specific Webnet configurations for safety and aesthetic integration.
