Hoover Dam Bypass Cableway - NV
While the bridge crossing the Colorado River at the Hoover Dam will be a Composite Concrete Deck Arch Bridge, the cableway required to construct the bridge was the first item spanning the river. WireCo provided a total of sixteen 3” diameter wire rope assemblies. Each assembly was approximately 450’ in length with an Open Spelter Socket attached to each end. WireCo also supplied all of the structural strand assemblies used to support the massive concrete columns required to support the cableway.

Cable Cars - San Francisco, CA
The historic San Francisco cable cars have been hauled by 1 1/4" wire ropes since the 1800s. The highly-mechanical cable drive puts incredible strain on all components, especially the wire rope cables, requiring a customized product design and tightly controlled manufacturing. We work closely with the San Francisco Municipal Railway to see that all cables are delivered on time, to exact specifications.
