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
