MENCK’s MHU 750T and 800S Pile Driving Systems

MENCK Hydraulic Underwater Hammer MHU –S and –T series have played an essential role in the development and progression of offshore oil & gas explorations and developments from the early beginning.

MHU’s double acting hydraulic technology combined with the modular yet compact design delivers energy transfer efficiency of up to and above 95%, making the all MHU series of hammers the lightest and yet most powerful system for every pile configuration required.

Outer Diameter (OD): 1.1 m (42-in.) - 5.2 m (205-in.)

The MHU 800S hammers are directly adaptable to pile sizes ranging from 1.1 m OD (42-in.) to 5.2m OD (205-in.). In line with its integral design considerations, these hammers can be utilized for above water and shallow subsea operations in up to 300 m water depth. Once paired with MENCK’s deepwater girdle-type powerpack, the MENCK Hydraulic Deepwater Power Pack (MHP DWS), these hammers can support installation efforts in water depths down to 3,000 m (10,000-ft) effectively and efficiently. Notably, the integral part of the technology – the MHU hammer - is one and the same for every system and size.
