The signing ceremony was held on 11th May in Shanghai, China. The MHU4400S hammer spread with 8m adaptation is scheduled for delivery within Q2 2024.

Menck's commercial relationship with CCCC 3rd Harbour dates to 2016 when it purchased its first Menck hammer. Since then, it has benefited from the optimised user experience and reliability of the hammer giving it the confidence to work on projects with challenging soil conditions. This experience influenced the decision to purchase the MHU4400S hammer spread from Menck, which shows the confidence it has in the brand and product.

The field-proven MHU4400S is equipped with a one-piece anvil design of 8m in diameter. The specialised design, materials, and manufacturing process provide the anvil with stiffness and strength, resulting in efficient and durable performance. 

The hammer helps to achieve carbon efficiencies by using quieter technology in comparison to the conventional MHU design. The reduction of the project footprint is supported by the integrated system setup which requires minimal personnel to work on the installation.

An MHU 4400S hammer system, which can deliver 4,400kJ of impact energy, has previously been used in the world's largest, one-part driving configuration (8m diameter) to support the installation of the first foundations on a large wind farm development in the UK North Sea.

 

"The demand for bigger hammers and bigger pile adaptions is growing and I am confident that both 3rd Harbour and Menck, will work together to provide technology solutions to this industry today and in the future," Frank Köhrmann, general manager, Menck, said.
