Cable Repair Kit
- Equipment
- Roadway/roadside
Innovation
In Indiana, the majority of cable barrier repairs along state-managed roads are performed by contractors, which is expensive and poses liability questions. To provide its own maintenance crews with the tools needed to perform the repairs, the Indiana Department of Transportation developed cable repair kits, which may consists of a cable barrier rail spreader, post puller, and cable barrier tensioning winch depending on a location's specific needs.
Benefit and Implementation
With these cable repair kits, the agency's maintenance crews will be able to save money and reduce liability issues by performing repairs themselves.
