Cortland Co. delivered a precision lifting solution for the successful installation of a topsides module offshore in the UK North Sea Cortland worked with Seaway Heavy Lifting who were contracted for the transportation and installation of the module.
This project required an extremely precise lift with mm level tolerances. The module needed to remain in a narrow position and at a specified tilt at all times.
Cortland supplied a hybrid of Plasma 12x12 rope slings, and Selantic round slings to the client, to allow installation of this 800-tonne topsides module.
“[Cortland’s] recommendation to use both Plasma 12x12 rope slings, and Selantic round slings, was the solution we needed,” said Dirk-Jan Mattaar, principal engineer, Seaway Heavy Lifting.
“The combination of eight Selantic slings, along with four Plasma 12x12 eye-to-eye slings, ensured Cortland provided a tailored solution offering the strength and accuracy required for this project,” said Rob Arends, Cortland’s European rope sales manager.
