UAE-based Safety Services Group, a lifting equipment solutions firm, has announced that it has manufactured the region’s largest grommet slings for Saudi Aramco
The company said in a statement that the grommet slings, with a lifting capacity of more than 4,000 metric tonnes, were fabricated at Safety Services Group’s Dubai facility. The grommet slings have been designed to lift heavy slings for offshore oil drilling and rigging.
Used widely in the offshore oil industry, grommet slings are formed by layering a single wire rope around itself helically six times, providing a reliable heavy lifting method.
Mohamed Basheer, president of Safety Services Group, said that the fabrication of grommet slings of this scale had never previously been accomplished in the region before.
“The job was delivered in an extremely tight time frame meeting all industrial and regulatory standards. Our specialist engineers ensure that our processes, technology, and knowledge are optimised to meet leading global standards,” added Basheer.
Safety Services Group is a safety solution provider for oil, gas, marine and industrial construction industries in the Middle East, Asia, Africa and Europe.
