Securing Olympic Stadium during 8000km journey across Atlantic

Aerial shot Rio and Olympic logoWhen the athletes gather in the Estadio do Maracanã tonight, there will be one team just as proud as those at the opening ceremony – Team Cordstrap.

Although we won’t be in the stadium, we can be proud knowing that we helped to make it happen by delivering vital materials on time and intact.

 

Steel Frame Olympic Stadium Rio Secured with Cordstrap Heavy Duty LashingWhen the steel framework for the structure needed to be shipped 8000 km across the Atlantic from Vigo in Spain to Rio, it was natural that Cordstrap – the global leader in cargo securing – should be selected to ensure that this demanding and important journey took place safely and efficiently.
