Abstract
A tension member protection system includes two or more shell elements arranged circumferentially around a tension member which together surround a cavity that receives the tension member. A plurality of joining sleeves, each of which is associated with one of the two shell elements, is designed and arranged on the shell elements in such a way that, in a cavity forming state, they interlock so that their through-holes in the longitudinal direction of the tension member protection system only overlap completely when the two shell elements lie with their contact surfaces against other. A rod-shaped element is designed to be passed through the through-holes of the interlocking joining sleeves.
