During the rope installation in Santo Domingo, the TRUsplice ES splicing solution will demonstrate its usefulness.<\/p>\n<p>Developed by FATZER and used in around 100 projects worldwide, this engineering solution reduces splice length by up to one third. For a 60 mm rope, this translates into a reduction of nearly 30 meters, requiring just under 44 meters instead of 72.<\/p>\n<p>In urban environments, where space is often limited, this offers significant advantages. Smaller splice bridge dimensions, lower costs and shorter installation times all contribute to greater efficiency.<\/p>\n<p>Last but not least, around one-third fewer support staff will be required.
