Barrier Cable FAQs

Barrier cable systems for parking structures protect vehicles and pedestrians by preventing falls and accidents. They offer strong impact resistance, lower costs, and improved ventilation compared to traditional concrete barriers.

Yes. Damaged or corroded vehicle barrier cables can often be repaired or partially replaced without the need for full system removal, helping you maintain parking structure safety while saving costs.

Yes. Our systems meet IBC and Post-Tensioning Institute (PTI) standards for both vehicle barriers and pedestrian protection.

Most barrier cables are galvanized or epoxy-coated to prevent corrosion and extend their lifespan, especially in outdoor or coastal environments.

Yes. We design custom barrier cable layouts and anchorage systems tailored to your parking structure’s architecture, safety requirements, and aesthetic goals.

Visible sagging cables, broken anchorages, corrosion, or cables that feel loose or displaced are common signs that repairs are needed. Load testing and visual inspections can confirm if cables meet safety standards.

Barrier cables are faster to install, more affordable, offer better ventilation and visibility, and deliver comparable impact protection with easier long-term maintenance.

Parking garage barrier cables should be inspected visually at least once per year. Load testing and re-tensioning should be done after major impacts or every few years to maintain performance.
