Reliance TunedCable™ Systems
Reliance Horizontal Lifeline Systems use TunedCable ™ technology. Cable tuning (or the use of high pre-tensioned cables) has been shown to significantly reduce fall arrest distances and line tensions during fall arrest. This is accomplished using a scientifically tuned HLL cable that reduces the input momentum of a falling weight and at the same time forces the cable to absorb the energy generated during a fall at a higher rate. This allows the design of systems with longer line lengths and lower final line tensions than previously thought possible. This also creates the need for fewer bypass supports to reduce line tension, thus lower overall system cost. TunedCable ™ technology permits: • Free spans up to 200’ (61m) without intermediate supports • Lower end loads, which means easier installations in more and different locations • Multiple end-anchor choices for every situation: rebar clamps, concrete beam straps, anchors, concrete inserts, weld-on lugs, bolt-on clamps, I-Beam clamps and more • A choice of stanchions to raise the lifeline above the walkway or with in-line clamps where overhead structure exists • All systems are available with bypass supports to reduce line tension and limit fall distances Reliance systems are engineered, and comply with all applicable OSHA and ANSI requirements and standards. They are supplied with complete documentation so they will meet the requirements for anchorage performance, design and component traceability for OHSA inspections. - and at a reasonable price.

RELIANCE Horizontal Lifeline Systems
Common System Types
Road & Bridge: Reliance offers a variety of engineered horizontal lifeline systems that are specifically designed to address the fall protection hazards associated with the construction and maintenance of roadways and bridges. These systems use components that were developed to meet the standard requirements of road and bridge work environments, and have been thoroughly field tested on actual jobsites. Reliance Horizontal Lifeline Systems for Road and Bridge work share a common horizontal lifeline system, but use different anchor, stanchion, and other elements specific to the environment in which they are installed. Road & Bridge Anchorage Options : Looped Rebar, Nelson Stud, Structural Steel, Pour-In-Place Concrete Structural Steel: Structural steel systems are designed for installation on existing structures. Utilizing off the shelf components, most all structures can be accommodated. System height is 5, 6, or 7’ (1.5, 1.8, 2.1m) above the walking surface or can be configured to hang from above. System stabilization is maintained with tie-back cables or strong back struts when stanchions are utilized. On structures (piperacks) where clamping on the top flange of I- beams is not feasible, under slung clamps may be used. Structural Steel Anchorage Options : Clamp-On, Weld-On, Choker Strap, Overhead, Fireproof or Boxed Beam Concrete Anchorage Options : Bolt-In, Commercial Rebar, Drop-In Sleeve, Rebar Direct Connect, Embedded Currently, Reliance offers several off the shelf systems which effectively address most concrete construction applications. Since each project has unique challenges, custom fabrication of brackets and structural interfaces are available upon request. Concrete: Construction projects utilizing concrete foundations are among the most common in building sites worldwide. The nature of concrete construction projects presents a unique set of challenges for fall protection and horizontal lifeline setup and use. Reliance has extensive experience in this area, and offers a variety of systems and solutions for concrete const ruction projects. Specialty Systems: With our large selection of off the shelf components, most any structure may be fitted with a permanent or temporary Reliance horizontal lifeline. With the ability to “tune” our lifeline systems, Reliance can accommodate clearance and span geometries that our competitors have difficulty with.

Reliance Horizontal Lifeline Wizard
The Reliance Horizontal Lifeline Wizard is an exclusive on-line tool which utilizes empirical data derived from over 200 live tests, allowing qualified end-users to configure their systems according to their needs. Once the desired outputs are generated, a detailed engineering report and bill of materials are generated. The performance data and engineering report can be saved to individual profiles for future reference. Through use of the Reliance ‘Horizontal Lifeline Wizard’ on the Reliance website at www.relsafe. com. Anticipated lifeline tension and minimum required clearance beneath the walking surface are determined instantly by entering the following five items : • Number of system users required • Total lifeline length
Our skilled teamof engineersarealwaysaccessible and happy to answer questions and provide additional guidance for larger, more challenging projects. The unrivaled performance of the Skyline™ Horizontal Lifeline Systems coupled with the personalized customer service and technical support from our engineering team ensure the best protection that money can buy!
• Number of intermediate supports • Type of deceleration device used
• Elevation of lifeline above walking surface Since the calculations are almost instant, many design combinations may be viewed to obtain the best design for protection of the affected workers. The program will automatically invalidate the system if it is not viable based on the entries. When a viable system is configured, the user can generate a bill of material based on the components required for the system designed.
Utilizing your own exclusive profile, you can use the HLL System Calculator to configure your lifeline for optimum performance and then proceed to the Wizard functions to select the components required for your application by navigating a simple series of options and drop-down menus. The wizard will allow you to export your custombill of materials, complete with list pricing to either a PDF or an Excel worksheet for easy planning and documentation.
