HomeSpiral strands for anchorage of offshore oil production platforms (deepwater mooring)

Spiral strands for anchorage of offshore oil production platforms (deepwater mooring)
Advantages
- High tensile strength wire leading to maximum breaking load on strand level or excellent weight to strength performance (= suited for deepwater solutions)
- High corrosion resistance leading to long lifetime solutions
- Excellent ductility on wire level leading to excellent (pull-pull) fatigue properties on strand level
