Industrial Solutions for Infrastructure & Heavy Industry

igus^® e-chain^® cable carriers are innovating the fields of civil and commercial construction. In heavy movable structures, theaters and kinetic architecture, among other technologies, high-strength plastic e-chain^® cable carriers are providing reliability and decreased downtime. 

The industrial solutions can enhance a range of applications, from vertical hanging orientations to rotary configurations. For infrastructure planning support, igus^® civil and architectural engineers are always available for onsite inspection and installation services.  To learn more about all of our field and support services, or "Orange Services", please click below.

Movable Bridges

For 21^st century infrastructure development, the Portsmouth Memorial Bridge was redesigned with e-chain® cable carriers. The restructure increased reliability, reduced costs and eliminated maintenance.

Stage and Theater

The Kauffman Center for the Performing Arts requires durable construction materials to power the overhead speaker and lighting trusses. Cable reels were originally used, which caused reliability issues, so the stage management team replaced the reels with maintenance-free e-chain^® cable carriers.

Kinetic Architecture

High-strength plastic e-chain^® cable carriers are engineered for constant movement. These energy chain solutions have been used to provide stability, easy assembly and high load capacity to many moving constructions, including an NFL stadium’s roof system.
