IHC Hydrohammer, a business unit of the Dutch based Royal IHC, has recently commissioned the S-1800 Hydrohammer with 5.5m Pile Guiding for the Chinese Offshore Wind market.
Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering, a joint venture between ZPMC and Longyuan, is using the S-1800 hydraulic piling hammer from Chinese contractor 3rd Harbour Engineering to drive flanged monopiles for the Longyuan Jiangsu Rudong Offshore Wind Farm. With a total of 36 flanged monopile foundations and 14 tripod foundations, supporting 4MW turbines, the Chinese Offshore Wind Farm will deliver 200MW. The joint venture already installed 31 foundations until now for this project.
Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering is the market leader in China for the installation of foundations and wind turbines. At this moment IHC Hydrohammer is manufacturing the S-2000 hydraulic piling hammer for Jiangsu Longyuan Zhenhua Marine Engineering. The S-2000 will soon be the 4th piling hammer in the Chinese Offshore Wind market.
