The factory of 27,000 m2, Lankhorst Euronete Ropes S.A., is one of the most modern rope factories in the world and is located in Póvoa de Varzim in Portugal. Positioned near the central motorway system with excellent links to the harbour of Oporto makes this company well suited to produce offshore mooring ropes. Recently also our dedicated factory in Rio de Janeiro, Brasil, went into operation.
Our factories are dedicated to the design, production and testing of offshore mooring ropes and specialty products such as deep water installation ropes. The facility is supported with over a decade of experience and expertise from the former business of Quintas & Quintas Offshore. Modern production and testing equipment permits all the following activities to be undertaken in-house:
• Extrusion of rope yarns
• Conversion (twisting) of flat yarn into rope yarn
• Stranding of rope yarns into strands
• Braiding or twisting of strands into sub-ropes
• Closing (over braiding) of sub-ropes into mooring ropes
• Length Measurement System (LMS) under tension <20 tonnes
• Length marking under tension in 75 m increments
• Axial (anti-twist) line marking
• Full scale proto-type testing
• Break strength testing <1200 tonnes
• Tension-tension fatigue testing
• Stiffness and elongation testing
• Simulation of installation and “What If” scenarios.
The company entered the Deep Water Tether market in 1998, consequently all plant and equipment used is the latest generation state of the art machinery. |
