Northgate Station

Northgate, WACompleted January 2020Barrier Cable System

State-of-the-art barrier cable system installation for a light rail station parking structure, featuring GTI's Fixed-End Grabb-it Adjustable Anchor System with precise tension control and enhanced safety features.

Project Overview

The Northgate Station parking structure required a high-performance vehicle impact protection system that would meet strict safety requirements while providing easy maintenance access and precise tension control capabilities. Our solution centered on implementing GTI's Fixed-End Grabb-it Adjustable Anchor System, designed specifically for optimal performance in transit facility applications.

Technical Implementation

Our installation methodology focused on precision and reliability:

  • Implementation of dual-end back-seating configuration for enhanced stability
  • Systematic installation sequence with precise tension adjustments
  • Specialized calibrated tension meter usage for accurate force measurement
  • Comprehensive documentation of all measurements and adjustments

Quality Control Process

Our rigorous quality control program ensured system integrity and compliance:

  • Individual cable force verification using calibrated testing equipment
  • Systematic back-seating verification at all connection points
  • Comprehensive compliance checks against project specifications
  • Detailed documentation of all testing results and measurements
