KimLift® Synthetic Round Slings

DATE
October 2023

BACKGROUND

Future Synthetics (Middle East) FZC won a contract to design and manufacture a total of 2 heavy lift, synthetic round slings to complement the 30 slings supplied in the previous installation phase in 2022. The slings were used for installing monopiles for the Yunlin Offshore Wind Farm, located in the Taiwan Straits.

The Contractor landed an order to install the remaining monopiles for wind turbine structures for the 640-MW Yunlin wind farm. As many as 80 wind turbines will generate electricity that will be fed into the Taiwanese power grid via two onshore substations near the cities of Taixi and Sihu.

The first turbine was connected to the grid in November 2022 but the completion of the project was delayed by three years due to technical difficulties with the monopile installation.

All slings were made with our trademark Engineered Length Control ® for strict length compliance. Proof load testing was conducted on our KimTest 3000t horizontal test bed in Malaysia – one of the largest in the industry.

BACKGROUND
Future Synthetics (Singapore) won a contract to design and manufacture a total of 4 ultralong heavy lift, synthetic round slings. The slings were used for the Transportation and Installation (T&I) project for ONGC’s deep water project. The contractor will deliver and install a central processing platform (CPP) and living quarters. The platform will process wet gas, which will then be exported to an onshore terminal.

The slings were made to strict length tolerances, quality control and engineering verification. The core load bearing component used in the slings was FutureSteel® HMPE yarn, produced at Future Synthetics using high speed twisters. The exceptionally long length of these heavy lift slings presented no problem for the production team and testing department.

All slings were made with our trademark Engineered Length Control ® for strict length compliance. Proof load testing was conducted on our KimTest 3000t horizontal test bed in Malaysia – one of the largest and longest in the industry.
