Recently, CSBC- DEME Offshore Engineerings’ (CDWE) installation vessel ‘Green Jade’ successfully installed 84th pin pile of the Hai Long Offshore Wind project in the Taiwan Strait. Our IQ2 Hydrohammer®, in combination with PULSE, was used to drive those pin piles successfully to the target depth.
PULSE, designed to enhance noise reduction and – since 2020 – has already successfully installed around 150 monopiles and counting. It is also, for the first time, being utilized for the installation of sub-sea pin piles, proving being suitable for current pin pile diameters and showed consistent noise reduction results for sub-sea piling, as well as the ability to drive to final penetration.
Due to the successful installation of these piles at the Hai Long wind farm project, PULSE is also suitable for anchoring piles in the upcoming offshore floating wind market, keeping us at the forefront of technological development.
More about the PULSE®
PULSE is an innovative add-on to the Hydrohammer®, designed to enhance noise mitigation during offshore monopile installations. It consists of two pistons in a housing with a flexible column of fluid in between. This fluid-filled volume allows PULSE to control impact characteristics, reduce pile fatigue, reduce noise at the source, and protect marine life.
