How we work
In deep and ultra deep water we use MENCK's unique deep water system to drive piles beyond the limitation of hose length.
This provides the experienced solution for deepwater foundations for almost any soil conditions.
Hammers & Spread
A hammer with energy from 100kJ up to 740kJ is available for (ultra) deepwater operation.
All additional equipment like a deepwater power pack, air compressor and umbilical is available to provide the whole spread for your operation.
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 that makes it easy to transport globally, if necessary.
In Support Globally
