Bridon International is launching a new
£30 million state-of-the-art factory
that will produce multi-strand ropes in
gross piece weights of up to 650 tonnes
– making them the largest and most
complex in the world.
This will enable Bridon to keep pace with
the ambitions of the oil and gas industry,
supporting operators in reaching greater
depths and working in more challenging
environments. Enabling the manufacture
of such vast and complex ropes, the
world’s largest ‘rope closing’ machine has
been installed at the facility.
The closer is used to form dozens of
strands of wire into a single finished
rope and is the first of its kind capable of
making a 600 tonne rope in a single pass,
enabling the production of longer and
higher capacity ropes in a single piece
and avoiding the need for multiple passes.
The Bridon Neptune Quay site, which
is located on Newcastle’s Tyneside, will
be fully operational by January 2013.
The site’s deep-water portside location
will allow Bridon to use innovative
loading solutions to reduce both delivery
timescales and order lead times for
customers.
Jon Templeman, chief executive of
the Bridon Group, said: “The ropes
produced at this state-of-the-art facility
will expand the boundaries of the
possible for customers across the sector.
“Bridon Neptune Quay has been built
to help us solve our customers’ most
significant technological challenges –
whether it is reaching new depths off
the coast of Brazil or operating in some
of the most challenging environmental
conditions on earth.
“This factory, which is the most advanced
of its kind ever built, is a crucial part
of Bridon’s work to become the global
technology leader in wire and rope
solutions.”
