How we work
Complete harbour facilities or extensions of existing installation are constructed with MENCK equipment.
Even if noise mitigation is needed, we can offer solutions to meet your requirements. Special design of pile adaption or handling systems can support an effective installation procedure.
Hammers & Spread
A hammer with energy from 100kJ up to 3500 kJ is available in our rental fleet. All additional equipment like a Power pack, air compressor, hose winch, hoses and umbilical is available to provide the whole spread for your operation.
On ultra deep water we use our unique deep water system to drive piles beyond the limitation of hose length.
Availability
Our equipment is located on several yards worldwide. The main yards are in Germany and Singapore where we can also do the assembling of the equipment.
The equipment is containerized on a high level what makes it easy to transport globally if necessary.
