Deploying Steelite ropes for offshore windfarms is also a much quicker and easier process, with the risk of impairment to fragile components minimised, assembly times reduced and the lifting capacity of installational barges increased. Since employing Steelite ropes, RWE has witnessed corrective maintenance costs usually associated with wind farm construction disappear almost entirely.
INDUSTRY GROWTH the UK’s use of wind energy is set to dramatically increase over the next few years as part of the Government’s renewable targets. the firm has already received production enquiries from a number of major multinational wind farm constructors and is planning a production schedule that will cater to the highest possible levels of demand.
Jon templeman, Chief Executive of bridon International commented: “The fibre constructions used in Bridon’s Steelite ropes mean they are both stronger and lighter than their conventional steel equivalents – making them easier to work with, reducing the need for regular replacement and ensuring the highest possible levels of performance.
“Bridon prides itself on collaborating with customers to find innovative solutions to the challenges they face, and that’s what makes us the global technology leader in manufacturing ropes for demanding applications.”
