Abstract

At least one cable is fastened to a longitudinal structure. The longitudinal structure is prepared to absorb the tensile load of the cable. The longitudinal structure is prepared to be bent together with the cable around an obstacle of a construction while they are positioned in reference to the construction.

Claims (42)

1. An arrangement for cable-installation,

wherein at least one cable is fastened to a longitudinal structure,

wherein the longitudinal structure is configured to absorb the tensile load of the cable,

wherein that the longitudinal structure is flexible at least to the extent that it bends together with the cable around an obstacle of a construction during a positioning in reference to the construction,

wherein the longitudinal structure is a rope ladder, and

wherein the cable is connected with a rung of the ladder or with a holm of the ladder.

2. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the longitudinal structure comprises a fastener to connect the cable with the longitudinal structure.

3. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the longitudinal structure comprises a fastener to connect the longitudinal structure with the construction.

4. The arrangement according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fastener is selected from the group consisting of clamps, strips, cable-fasteners, ropes, straps and brackets.

5. The arrangement according to claim 3 ,

wherein the fastener is selected from the group consisting of clamps, strips, cable-fasteners, ropes, straps and brackets.

6. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the longitudinal structure is a wire rope.

7. The arrangement according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fastener is a part of a support-structure,

wherein the support-structure is configured to connect the cable with the longitudinal structure, and

wherein the support-structure is configured to connect the longitudinal structure with the construction.

8. The arrangement according to claim 7 ,

wherein the fastener is an integrated part of the support-structure.

9. The arrangement according to claim 2 ,

wherein the fastener is a part of a support-structure,

wherein the support-structure is configured to connect the cable with the longitudinal structure, or

wherein the support-structure is configured to connect the longitudinal structure with the construction.

10. The arrangement according to claim 9 ,

wherein the fastener is an integrated part of the support-structure.

11. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the longitudinal structure and the cable are arranged as loop or circle or semi-circle to compensate movements of the construction.

12. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the construction is selected from the group consisting of a tower, a tunnel a pylon and a shaft.

13. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the construction is a wind turbine tower.

14. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the longitudinal structure and the cable are positioned at an inner wall of the construction.

15. The arrangement according to claim 1 ,

wherein the longitudinal structure and the cable are positioned at an outer wall of the construction.

16. A method for the installation of a cable, comprising:

providing at least one cable fastened to a longitudinal structure, which is a rope ladder configured to absorb the tensile load of the cable;

connecting the at least one cable with a rung of the ladder or with a holm of the ladder; and

positioning the at least one cable fastened to the rope ladder, wherein the rope ladder bends together with the cable around an obstacle of a construction during the positioning.
