A deicing device for a sheath of a structural cable, the structural cable comprising tendons housed in the sheath, the deicing device includes a base; a bearing element; and a power system configured to press the bearing element against the tendons while the base is in contact with an inner surface of the sheath, and to generate vibrations between the bearing element and the base.

Deicing device for a sheath of a structural cable and a method for deicing a structural cable

The sheath () for a structural cable () has an outer surface to be exposed to an environment of a construction work equipped with the structural cable (). The outer surface of the sheath has a roughness texture () to promote retention of frozen water. In at least an upper part of the length of the sheath (), the roughness texture () covers more than half of the outer surface of the sheath.
