Method for erecting a stay

Method for erecting a stay comprising an inclined casing and a bundle of substantially parallel taut reinforcements housed in the casing and individually anchored in first and second anchoring regions, the reinforcements being put in place in groups of N reinforcements, N being a number greater than or equal to 1, in which method the casing and some of the reinforcements are installed by applying substantially uniform tension values to the reinforcements, characterized in that it then comprises the following steps:

• a. compacting the installed reinforcements, at least at one end of the casing;
• b. slipping a further group of reinforcements along inside the casing, in a space left available by the compacted reinforcements;
• c. tensioning each reinforcement of the further group between the first and second anchoring regions so that all of the reinforcements installed have substantially uniform tension values;
• and
• d. repeating steps [a] to [c] until installation of the reinforcements is complete.
