Advancing offshore wind energy calls for both power and precision, especially as turbines continue to grow in size. Innovative hydraulic hammers, such as MENCK’s MHU fleet, are essential in driving larger monopiles into increasingly challenging seabeds. These tools ensure secure foundation installation while balancing efficiency with environmental protection—an essential combination for sustainable energy projects.
Fabian W. Hippe , Sales Director at Acteon Marine Foundations, highlights the growing challenges developers face with foundation installation equipment. As turbine sizes increase, so do foundation dimensions and turbine hub heights, exposing gaps in traditional technology. This evolution has driven the demand for more powerful, precise installation tools to mitigate risks of structural damage and reduce environmental impact.
