Method of producing a corrosion protected cable including a jacket

A method of manufacturing a supporting or stressing cable, comprising the steps of:

• prefabricating a cable of a predetermined outer diameter from a plurality of individual wires, said wires being respectively anchored at one end thereof in an anchoring body in a defined configuration;
• fixing said prefabricated cable at another end opposite said one end to a holding member;
• connecting an end of a protective jacket having an inner diameter larger than the outer diameter of the cable, to an application apparatus having a ring-shaped application chamber with a cable entrance opening and a cable outlet opening, both of sufficient size for passing therethrough said prefabricated cable;
• securing said end of said protective jacket within said cable outlet opening against withdrawal therefrom;
• introducing said prefabricated cable, with the other end first, through said cable entrance opening into said application apparatus, leaving a gap between said cable entrance opening and said cable introduced therein;
• sealing said gap;
• moving said application apparatus relative to said cable, leaving an annular space between said outer diameter of said cable and the inner diameter of said protective jacket;
• and continuously feeding a non-gaseous corrosion protective mass under pressure into said application chamber and through said cable outlet opening into said annular space such that said annular space is continuously filled with said corrosion protective mass as said application apparatus moves relative to said cable.
