The designer and manufacturer of engineered synthetic ropes and heavy lift slings is working with Dutch Heavy Lift Consultancy on an offshore windfarm to deliver custom Plasma HMPE for towing monopoles, single-tube structures, like towers, that hold wind turbines. Monopiles are towed into place using Cortland’s 44-mm diameter Plasma rope. Tug crews, especially those with recovery winches, consider the rope a necessary towline or pennant for safe and efficient operations. With the addition of the company’s large Herzog 2000 braider in its Anacortes, Wash. mill, the company can build twelve strand-braided ropes up to 200-mm diameter. The company provides accurate performance data for complex marine projects including product linear density, elongation, OD, compaction rates, and breaking strengths.Cortland
