Catenary Analysis and Design

Confidence in every catenary design, from concept to installation.

Gripple Catenary Systems

Gripple Catenary Kits offer a fast, tool-free way to create overhead suspension points where direct to substrate fixings aren’t possible. Each kit includes two Gripple Dynamic Wire Joiners and pre-cut, pre-fused galvanised wire rope for quick installation straight out of the box.

Ideal for open spaces or heritage buildings, the system supports services such as ductwork, lighting, signage, and acoustic panels. Paired with our C-Clip, suspension drops can be installed and easily repositioned in seconds.

Precision-Engineered Solutions for Complex Spanning Challenges

Our Gripple Catenary Systems are ideal for spanning spaces where direct soffit fixing isn’t possible, offering faster installation than traditional methods.

While catenary solutions can often feel complex or daunting, our in-house Technical Services team takes care of the full design and specification process, giving you complete confidence in your project.

We provide computer-modelled catenary tension analysis using SCIA Engineer software, calculating final catenary sag and, more importantly, anchor point loading.

We calculate the forces imposed on supporting steelwork or between walls to ensure compliance with structural engineer requirements. This computer-modelled analysis guarantees safe, efficient system design, helping reduce on-site labour and installation time while maintaining structural integrity by reducing the weight added to the roof structure when compared to traditional methods.

„The pitched roof posed some challenges (for suspension) so we had to use a catenary system.

Gripple have been fantastic on this project. Throughout the design stages, they have helped us develop solutions and given us a full design function behind the scenes.

It’s saved a huge amount of time, and the slick installation has proved really positive for us.“
