Marine riser tensioners

MRT - marine riser tensioners systems are important supplementary installations on floating platforms or drill ships. For this challenging application, Teufelberger-Redaelli offers fully developed and proven high performance steel wire ropes that are able to cope with the extreme stresses imposed by frequent bending cycles and adverse environmental conditions. Since the MRT is also faced with the logistical difficulties typical of the oil and gas industry, longevity and reliability play an important role for high performance steel wire ropes. After all, ultimately safety and cost-effectiveness are crucial.
For their riser tensioner systems, manufacturers rely on 6 or 8-strand Teufelberger-Redaelli high performance steel wire ropes. Of course, suitable rope end terminations, tests and inspections, and acceptance certificates form part of our service portfolio.
TEUFELBERGER Damage Ratio Calculator – TDRC
TEUFELBERGER is aware that schedulable rope replacement intervals are a key factor for the profitable operation on floating platforms or drill ships. This is why we developed an online-based program for our customers that makes it possible to increase safely the rope lifetime. The TDRC (Teufelberger Damage Ratio Calculator) combines theoretical calculations with results from inspections of discarded used ropes. This way, our customers obtain optimized future replacement intervals. As a result, they can significantly maximize the productivity of their platforms without having to make compromises in terms of safety.
