It should first be noted that finished steel wire rope produced by BWWR has previously gone through two main production stages, namely: (i) a given number of individual steel wires are first twisted into what is known as a ‘stranded wire’, and (ii) a given number of such stranded wires formed from individual steel wires are then twisted together to form the finished steel wire rope.
