Hydrohammer® IQ-series

With optimised strike energy and high cycle speeds, the IQ-series reduces installation time per pile. Real-time energy adjustment and levelling systems allows operators to actively respond to soil conditions, improving productivity and reducing project risk. Ensuring installation within extremely narrow tolerances of 0.05 degrees.

Yes, the IQ-series is built to install large-diameter monopiles beyond 9 meter top diameter, making it ideal for today’s offshore wind foundations and scalable for future turbine developments.

The IQ-series system is engineered for offshore durability, featuring robust components, minimal maintenance requirements, and high uptime—critical for reducing costly vessel delays. It has a proven track record of unparalleled uptime making it cutting-edge.

Yes, although we like to be modest about it sometimes you need the energy to get the pile to final penetration. IQIP’s IQ-series with the IQ2, IQ4, IQ6 and newly IQ8 are the biggest impact hammers in the world and as such can deliver a huge amount of energy over 7.500 kJ.

Absolutely. The IQ-Series integrates seamlessly with IQIP’s PULSE and other noise mitigation systems such as NMS, supporting compliance with strict environmental regulations. This solution is proven to be more silent than any other solution available in the market.

The largest impact hammers are developed by leading offshore piling equipment manufacturers such as IQIP, whom designs ultra-high energy hydraulic hammers for large-scale offshore projects. The Hydrohammer IQ-series are the most powerful hydraulic impact hammers in the world capable of delivering over 7.500kJ.

These hammers are used to install large-diameter monopiles and heavy foundations, particularly in offshore wind farms. IQIP’s largest hydrohammers are engineered to meet the demands of next-generation projects, combining high impact energy, advanced control systems, and proven offshore reliability.
