Jakob Rope Systems

Invisible protection for sports facilities: With our flexible and transparent sports nets made of Webnet, we offer versatile solutions for sports environments. Thanks to various designs and mesh geometries, the nets systems can be adapted to different requirements.   Webnet offers numerous advantages for sports and leisure facilities. Compared to conventional fences, rope net constructions do not produce any disturbing metallic noises on contact with the ball, which supports the quiet and aesthetically pleasing atmosphere.   Our mesh structures made of high-quality stainless steel are extremely durable. This means that both the visual and acoustic properties are retained for many years.   Jakob Rope Systems offers the manufacturing of these sports nets. We also take care of planning, dimensioning and installation. We fully implement sports nets projects from the initial idea to completion.   #Webnet #Sport #Architecture #JakobRopeSystems

Successful apprenticeships 2024: Congratulations to Elin Wüthrich and Judith Schröder. Both have just finished their apprenticeship at Jakob Rope Systems in Trubschachen. And particularly successful as third placed in their year. This week there was reason to celebrate when the certificates were handed out.   Elin and Judith completed their education as commercial administrators with us over three years. During their training at Jakob Rope Systems, commercial apprentices pass through all the important departments in our company: Administration, Sales Architecture, Sales Hoisting and Lifting Technology, Shipping, Accounting and Export.   Also in the photo: Our commercial apprentice Florian Schuler, who is completing his intermediate exams at the end of his second year of apprenticeship this summer.   After their well-deserved summer vacation, Elin and Judith will continue their careers at Jakob Rope Systems as commercial employees in our sales and export teams.   More about our apprenticeship: https://t1p.de/r0b3b   #Apprenticeship #Emmental #JakobRopeSystems

This video of Red Sea Global illustrates the rope cladding process by Jakob Rope Systems, showcasing the stages of design, manufacture, delivery, and supervision. It features many details that exemplify rope makers and engineering expertise. Many thanks to the team of Red Sea Global for their involvement and to all partners who have collaborated over the past few months for this project.   #TheRedSea #Architecture #RopeFacades #JakobRopeSystems

This combination of product and services creates value for our customers:   📐 Planning and engineering for the development of individual WalkNet projects 🛠 Manufacturing, assembly and installation on-site by our team ⭐ Material testing and prototyping in our rope factory in Trubschachen 📋 Documentation for approvals and local authorities   With our Swiss manufacturing and services, we ensure that our customer projects are created in a high-quality standard and unique design.   #WalkNet #FiberRopes #RopeTechnology #SeilereiBerger #JakobRopeLab #JakobRopeSystems

We have been launching our #WalkNet since spring 2024. A walkable net structure made of reinforced fiber ropes for various outdoor and indoor applications. Over the past few weeks, our fiber rope team and our partner Seilerei Berger have further developed the WalkNet. This has resulted in new variants, shapes, end connections and improved properties for installation.   👉 Net variants with double knots (for vertical installation) and single knots (for horizontal installation). 👉 A new end connection can be pressed directly on-site for easy installation. 👉 Geometric and free net shapes. Combined with different rope diameters (12 and 16 mm), mesh sizes and mesh angles. 👉 New tie-in rope tested: The new reinforced fiber rope enables a simple visual inspection of the condition of the WalkNet. The wear and tear of the tie-in rope is visible. 👉 Wide range of colors: beige, red, blue, yellow, orange, green, black. The combination of first-class materials, precise workmanship and tailor-made solutions makes the WalkNet a perfect choice for a wide range of applications. #WalkNet #FiberRopes #RopeTechnology #SeilereiBerger #JakobRopeLab #JakobRopeSystems

What is still preventing us from planning green facades? How can we make knowledge about greening more accessible? What technical hurdles make the implementation of facade greening difficult?   These and many other questions are currently being discussed at the #PhänomenaChallenge in Stadt Dietikon. Jann Mathys from our engineering team is joining one of the six interdisciplinary teams of this workshop event.   Specific concepts will emerge at the end of the Phänomena Challenge. These in turn will be evaluated by a jury of experts and will then be realized in two funded pilot projects.   The Phänomena Challenge is initiated by the Cleantech Hub Dietikon Limmattal in collaboration with the Innovation Booster Applied Circular Sustainability from Innosuisse and the ZHAW Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften. The participants are accompanied in their teams by coaches in structured design thinking processes.   A great event! Great topics! We wish all participants and all projects every success.   #PhänomenaChallenge #GreenFacades #Architecture #Dietikon #CleantechHubDietikonLimmattal #Innosuisse #ZHAW

Our partner Inoxsystem Kft from Hungary installed Jakob Webnet and stainless steel ropes for this impressive bridge construction project. The suspension bridge in Zemplén Kalandpark has been open since the beginning of June 2024. #BridgeConstruction #Architecture #RopeTechnology #Webnet #InoxsystemKft #JakobRopeSystems

Graubünden's longest suspension bridge is currently being built in Disentis/Mustér. Around 270 meters long and 100 meters above the ground.   Construction work began in spring 2024. The foundations are currently being laid on both sides of the valley. Installation of the suspension bridge (von Rotz & Wiedemar AG) is planned from late summer 2024.   Our Jakob Engineering team is currently preparing the basis for the rope assembly and steel workshop drawings (Huser Stahlbau AG). The production of the components supplied by Jakob Rope Systems is also currently being prepared. The main suspension ropes will be supplied by PFEIFER Structures.   Learn more: https://t1p.de/3zbpg   We will be reporting on this project again soon.   #DisentisSuspensionBridge #LaPendenta #BridgeConstruction #Architecture #RopeTechnology #Webnet #JakobRopeSystems

For our shade roof projects we develop lightweight structures into which our ropes and stainless steel meshes are integrated.   This creates flexible solutions in a variety of shapes and sizes. Depending on the environment, space available and local requirements. The filigree structure also allows regulations for access routes and fire protection requirements to be taken into account.   We involve partners from landscape architecture and botany, urban planning and local authorities in the development of our shade roofs. This is how we get projects off the ground, from the initial idea through to construction.   #UrbanGreening #Architecture #RopeTechnology #JakobRopeSystems
