METHOD FOR MAKING A COMPOSITE TETHER FOR AN OFFSHORE PLATFORM, AND TETHER OBTAINABLE BY SAID METHOD

摘要

The invention concerns a method which consists in forming subassemblies (6) by assembling pultruded strands (5) consisting of traction resistant fibres embedded in a resin, and coating the assembled strands in a protective plastic jacket (7). Said subassemblies are wound on transport reels (12). On a manufacturing site preferably located on the sea front, the tether (4) is formed by assembling the subassemblies unwound from the transport reels, and by coating the assembled subassemblies in an outer plastic sheath (9). The resulting tethers can then be transported to the platform for anchoring the latter.
