Abstract
Method for producing a ballast weight for damping vibrations of a structure (2), the ballast weight (8) being formed from ballast components comprising at least part of a ballast cable (12). The method comprises: connecting the ballast cable to a conveying device (14), by means of the conveying device, moving successive portions (12P) of the ballast cable from a low point (B) to a high point (H), and forming the ballast weight (8) from at least part of the successive portions of the ballast cable which have been conveyed to the high point.
Claims15
A method for producing a ballast weight for damping vibrations of a structure, the structure having a low point and a high point, the ballast weight being formed from ballast components comprising at least part of a ballast cable, the ballast cable having successive portions, the method comprising:
- connecting the ballast cable to a conveying device,
- by means of the conveying device, moving successive portions of the ballast cable from the low point to the high point, and
- forming the ballast weight from at least part of the successive portions of the ballast cable which have been conveyed to the high point.
An assembly for producing a ballast weight for damping vibrations of a structure, the structure comprising a low point and a high point, the ballast weight being formed from ballast components comprising at least part of a ballast cable, the assembly being fixed in relation to the structure and comprising a conveying device which is suitable to be connected to the ballast cable and to move the successive portions of the ballast cable from the low point of the structure to the high point of the structure.
