The cable tubing is a rubber casing that goes over the cable to reduce friction as the cable runs over the towers and around the anchor.
The rebar with be used to reinforce the concrete towers and anchors that hold up the bridge.
One of the most important pieces of the bridge, these clamps ensure the cables that suspend the deck of the bridge stay taught. We need 64 to complete the bridge!
With $250, we can purchase 6”x8” wood cross beams for the bridge that the decking will be placed on top of.
We need this in order to tighten the many tons of steel cable to an acceptable level of sag in order for the bridge to support the required load.
With $1,000, we will be able to purchase the wood decking for the entire 50 meter bridge.
With $2,000, we will be able to power all of equipment necessary to build this bridge.
