The NMS-T-10000, distinguished as the largest noise mitigation system in the world, builds upon the successes of its predecessors, the NMS-8000 and NMS-8800. These predecessors are renowned for their best-in-class underwater noise mitigation technology.
This NMS-T-10000 showcases remarkable capabilities essential for its task:
- Designed for use from a floating vessel
- Capable of handling monopiles with diameters of up to 10 meters
- Maintains monopiles in a vertical position and accurately rotates them to the correct heading
- Noise from pile to water is almost completely blocked, minimizing environmental impact
- Equipped with six mudmats for precise alignment and stability during installation
- Effective operation in water depths of up to 42 meters
During the installation process at He Dreiht, Heerema Marine Contractors, the owner and contractor, will also utilize our IQ6 Hydrohammer® (the world’s most powerful hydraulic hammer), PULSE®, an 8-meter pile sleeve, and related supporting equipment.
With the NMS-T-10000 now being readied for its voyage to its designated site, let us commemorate this collective achievement, extending special appreciation to IQIP’s project team.
He Dreiht stands as one of Europe’s largest planned offshore wind power projects, and will be able to supply renewable energy to 1.1 million households.
