DATE
March 2024

BACKGROUND
Future Synthetics (Middle East) FZC won a contract to design and manufacture a total of 8 heavy lift synthetic round slings for the Dalma Gas project.

The Dalma field is part of the Ghasha Concession which is the world’s largest offshore sour gas development and an important enabler of gas self-sufficiency for the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The scope of supply for the contractor covered the EPC of four offshore wellhead towers, pipelines and umbilicals in Hair Dalma, Satah, and Bu Haseer fields.

These slings were huge and when used in basket hitch the largest had an MBL of 10,790 metric tons.

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.

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.

KimLift® Synthetic RoundSlings

DATE
October 2023

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.

KimLift® Synthetic Round Slings

DATE
June 2022

BACKGROUND

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

The monopiles were installed in water depths from 9m to 38m. Due to the size of the wind turbines to be installed, the monopiles were huge with some having diameters of 10m, lengths from 60m to 98m and unit weights of up to 2 metric tons. Several of these monopiles were the heaviest ever to be used offshore.

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.

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.

KimLift® Synthetic Round Slings

DATE
March to June 2021

BACKGROUND

Future Synthetics Pte Ltd designed and manufactured a total of 8 heavy lift slings for the Yunlin Wind Farm project.

When completed, Yunlin will be one of the biggest wind farms in Taiwan and provide clean electricity to more than 450,000 Taiwanese homes and offsetting
916,000 tonnes (t) of CO2 emissions a year.

The Yunlin offshore wind farm will be installed with 80 SG 8.0-167 DD offshore wind turbines from Siemens Gamesa Renewable Energy (SGRE). It will be the first
wind farm in Asia Pacific to use such turbines.

With 167m-diameter rotor and 81.4m-long blades, each direct-drive turbine will have a swept area of 21,900m² and a rated capacity of 8MW.

Equipped with high wind ride through (HWRT) system, the wind turbines are designed for smooth ramp down instead of immediate shut-down, when the wind speed exceeds 25m/s.

All slings were made with Engineered Length Control ® or strict length compliance.

SCOPE OF SUPPLY

4x KimLift® synthetic round slings KLX-428; MBL 2,142 MT (adjusted for bending diameter) and nominal effective working length 50.00 meters.

4x KimLift® synthetic round slings KLX-869; MBL 4,346MT (adjusted for bending diameter) and nominal effective working length 9.0 meters.
