Southwest Wire Rope Achieves DNV GL 2.7-1 & 2.7-3 Certifications for Offshore Lifting Sets
27 Giugno 2017 - 6:00PM
Southwest Wire Rope, a Heavy Lift Division of HWCC
(NASDAQ:HWCC), has received its DNV GL Type Approval Certificate
(TAC) to design, manufacture, test, tag, and certify lifting sets
for Offshore Containers (DNV 2.7-1) and Portable Offshore Units
(DNV 2.7-3). These certifications position Southwest Wire Rope as a
DNV GL certified manufacturer of the largest wire rope diameter for
offshore lifting slings in the US.
DNV is the premier accredited registrar and classification
society for offshore lifting in the world. Offshore companies
require or prefer DNV certification for offshore lifting
needs.
- The TAC covers wire rope sizes up to 3-1/2" (89 mm) with
a Working Load Limit of 92 metric tons (applicable to DNV
2.7-3), the largest wire rope size in the US; and,
- Southwest Wire Rope will design & manufacture slings for
DNV 2.7-1 & DNV 2.7-3 without requiring DNV GL's approval,
resulting in shorter lead times and lower costs for customers;
and,
- Southwest Wire Rope will manufacture DNV GL certified slings in
all three locations: Houston, Texas, as well as New Iberia &
Sulphur, Louisiana.
The DNV GL TAC was issued to Southwest Wire Rope on 6/13/2017
and is valid through 6/12/2021.
“We are excited by the opportunity this presents our customers
across the Gulf Coast,” said Eric Davis, President of HWCC Heavy
Lift Division, “because the broad scope of our DNV certification
allows us to manufacture these types of offshore lifting slings
faster than anyone else – which gives our customers a decisive
advantage in a highly competitive market.”
