Efficient, effective, environmental solutions

Environmentally friendly

Using fresh or salt water instead of hydraulic oil as the operating medium eliminates oil spill risks.

Single hose

Hammer requires no return hose or high-voltage cable in medium to shallow waters, reducing points of failure.

Highly versatile

The Waterhammer is suitable for all piling jobs and can be used in salt or fresh water.

Reliable technology

No energy or performance loss – the liquid medium doesn’t need to be returned to surface.

Hydraulic impact hammer designed for (extreme) deepwater piling

The Waterhammer can be used at water depths up to 2,000 meters. At certain depths, its  hydraulic control system that uses water instead of oil  eliminates the need to return the liquid medium back to surface.

Waterhammer

Environmentally friendly hydraulic impact hammer

The Waterhammer sets a new standard for eco-conscious piling solutions, using water as a hydraulic oil alternative. By relying solely on water, it eliminates the risk of hydraulic oil spills – ideal for environmentally sensitive projects.

Originally designed for deep-water oil and gas sector applications, the Waterhammer has also proven invaluable in coastal, river, and harbor construction projects.
