While waiting for the concrete to set and the gin pole to arrive, I have some
questions for the group:
1. What is the best method to cut Phillystran guy cable?
2. Is there anything required at a junction of Phillystran guy cable and
conventional EHS guy wire other than 2 appropriately sized thimbles
interconnected with each other? Is it necesary to use a pair of shackles along
with the thimbles?
3. Is it necessary to use 3 cable pullers (come-alongs), one on each guy wire,
when initially tensioning the guy cables prior to threading them through the
turnsbuckles? Or is there a method to do this just using one cable puller? I
don't like to use cheap tools, so buying 3 quality cable pullers along with the
associated cable grips might get a little expensive.
Thanks in advance for the info.
