Device for connecting prefabricated concrete sections

A device for joining pre-cast concrete sections, the device comprising:

• a cable loop having cable sections which form bent portions of the cable loop, the cable loop comprising a steel cable;
• an insert body insertable into a recess of a pre-cast concrete section, the insert body having a U-shaped profile and at least one opening for the cable loop, a portion of the cable loop which extends from the pre-cast concrete section lying in a channel of the U-shaped profile of the insert body in a bent-over position, and
• a plastically deformable element comprising a bendable wire, the entirety of the plastically deformable element lying within each of the cable sections of the cable loop,
• wherein the plastically deformable element retains the cable loop in the bent-over position in the channel of the U-shaped profile, and
• wherein the cable sections are to be retained in the bent-over position at least for a period after pre-casting in the pre-cast concrete section and during transportation and storage of the concrete section.
