The Flanged Pile Upending Tool has a great track record.
Our Flanged Pile Upending Tool is specifically designed to upend and lift large diameter piles with an integrated flange. The tool installs monopiles safely while it is remotely operable, which means no direct human interference is needed during the installation. In addition, the monopiles do not require secondary steel, which makes the FPUT an even more efficient tool.
During a typical operation, we stab the Flanged Pile Upending Tool into the monopile while it is horizontally stored on board. After stabbing the monopile, the latches connect underneath the pile top flange connection and create a fail-safe connection. This connection ensures that there will be no markings on your monopiles during this part of the installation sequence.
The tool installs flanged monopiles safely while being remotely controlled by operators on board. In addition, during the upending and lifting of monopiles, the FPUT will use the geometry of the pile for support. Our Advisory Services can support you during your project with calculations for the monopiles and flange connections.
Our upending tool makes it possible to raise monopiles efficiently and place the pile in the needed position, and the Flanged Pile Upending Tool is specially designed for XL piles with a flange.
The FPUT can be remotely controlled by operators on-board using an integrated power pack, which increases safety during the installation process. In addition, all contact areas on the FPUT are covered with protective materials for safety measurement.
The Flanged Pile Upending Tool can be used in combination with the Combi Lifting Spread. The Combi Lifting Spread is a spread that consists of multiple installation tools that can be used for foundation installations. The main piece of the spread, the Lifting Connector, connects easily with the corresponding socket on top of the tool and lifts the tool without the need of riggers, shackles or slings. This increases the safety and efficiency on board.

A Flange Pile Upending Tool is designed to support the controlled upending of flanged piles from a horizontal to a vertical position. It provides a secure interface with the pile flange during the lifting and upending operation.

The tool connects directly to the flange of the pile, creating a secure lifting point. During the lifting operation, it enables the pile to be brought from its horizontal transport or deck position into the vertical orientation required for installation. Furthermore IQIP offers special engineering services (pile integrity checks) to ensure no harm is done to the flange.
Key benefits include controlled pile handling, a secure connection to the flange and a more efficient upending operation. This can simplify offshore handling activities and support a safer, more predictable installation sequence.
Flange Pile Upending Tools can be engineered for different pile dimensions, flange geometries, weights and lifting requirements. The appropriate configuration depends on the specific pile and installation methodology. For non-flanged monopiles or pin piles IQIP offers Up Ending Tools (UETs) to ensure safe lifting.
Yes. The tool can be configured around project-specific requirements such as pile geometry, flange design, pile weight, lifting arrangement and installation sequence. This allows the upending solution to be integrated into the overall offshore installation methodology.
