Detrenching Grapnel
-
The Detrenching Grapnel is manufactured from high tensile steel, suitable for withstanding the harsh offshore environments. The structure and material of the grapnel is tested using finite element analysis which is performed during the design phase. This simulates the various stresses and strains acting on the grapnel in a variety of differentseabed conditions and allowed for optimisation of the design.
