1.

Design
Block System
Need careful planning on cable routing in frame design Cable diameters must be exact

RISE
No strict design criteria in planning of cable routing No need for accurate cable diameters during design stages

2.

Steel Frames

RISE
Yard fabricate own steel frames Steel frames can be design to suit the cable ladder support Maximum frame 600 x 300 mm or equivalent in surface area.

Block
Yard must use maker frames Standard width of each frame 120mm

3.

Compact
RISE
The system is very compact and can filled more cables About 30% to 50% more cables The system gives more space and spares Need only small area

Block
Restricted by the blocks and frame size. Fixed number of cables

4.

Weight
RISE
The system weight less as compare to Block system. It could be as much as 50% weight saving using RISE system.

Block
Weight more

5.

Component

RISE
There is only 2 component the FRR sleeves and FIWA sealant

Block
The system have more than 5 components

6.

No Mechanical Stress
RISE
There NO mechanical pressure to ensure or to maintain the proper seal System uses adhesion and not COMPRESSION System maintained it elasticity and tightness

Block
By COMPRESSION Rubber loses it elasticity when compressed over a prolong period

7.

No Tight tolerance
RISE
No need for tight tolerance on cables and the FRR sleeves

Block
System required a tight tolerance between cable OD and block size

8.

Fire Integrity

RISE
System is tested to the latest IMO Res A754 (18) Both FIWA sealant and the FRR sleeves expand 5 to 10 times its volume Stop fire and smoke

Block
Block material do not expand during fire

9.

Certification and Test Protocols

RISE
System is approved by all major classification societies for A0-A60 and H0-H120 System undergone stringent Naval Standard of testing Can withstand up to 850g shock

Block
No Comment Yard need to check with vendor

10.

Stability

RISE
System function up to 50 years. Aging Test by TNO laboratory in the Netherlands.

Block
???

11.

Maintenance

RISE
System maintain water and gas tight without any maintenance

Block
Need constant tightening

12.

Installation

RISE
NO special tools required. NO special skill require Proven by many yards and documented RISE can be 3 to 5 times faster than Block system

Block
Take time to sort out and arrange cables

13.

Flexible Site Installation

RISE
Any re-routing of cables on site is not a problem for RISE system RISE can handle any changes in cable type or diameter without changing the system

Block
Need prior planning May need to buy new material

14.

certified by DERA

RISE
System passed all the tests according to NES System is certified by DERA for used on board naval vessel

15.

Safety Tests according to NES

RISE
NES 711: Issue 2 Smoke index NES 713: Issue 3 Toxicity index ISO 4589-2 :1996 Oxygen index NES 510: Issue 2 Draft B Shock Test MIL-P-24705 Rapid Fire Test IMO Res A.653(16) Low flame characteristic

16.

Easy Add-on and replacement

RISE
Just cut, insert and seal with FIWA. NO need to dismantle the system NO need to change any sleeves Accommodate almost all cable diameter Job can be done within a minute

Block
Change all old blocks Dismantle the complete system Loosen cables on both side of the transit

17.

Fast & easy to repair system

RISE
May need to Erroneous installation dismantle the system like leak can be May need to change replaced by applying the blocks additional FIWA Mistake can be rectify on-site immediately

Block

18.

Cost saving

RISE
Proven by many yards RISE is more competitive than Block system In term of material and labor cost. Faster installation time increase productivity Great saving to welding cost of frames No extra cost for spare space
