![]() Seeing value in ideas being shared across industries, Richard looks at the physics of roped systems and equipment that may be used in a range of situations and industries. He originally created RopeLab to build a greater understanding of the physics of roped systems. Richard, the founder of RopeLab, aims to promote a better understanding of the fundamental principles underpinning the craft of the rope technician. The skate block that I’ve got set up will be used for raising loads rather than lowering them, so I’ll be using a Skyhook winch to do that work for me. This tension in the track line, as we’ll see when we’re downstairs, can be adjusted mid operation with a CMC MPD. I now have enough free rope to use for the tension track line. I started with one end at the far point, come up to my anchor focal point, back to another anchor point, and then bought that strand forward… all using the same rope. ![]() ![]() I’ve tried to be very efficient with the rope used in this anchor. In consideration with the anchoring, we’ve used a V-anchor. Because we’ve got so many features with this industrial structure, rather than having a mirrored skate block, I’ve gone with a tension track line with a single skate block, because it is like threading a needle when getting the load up through the aperture, which is opened just outside this gin pole. ![]()
