GBM Works B.V

An alternative for the hydraulic hammer currently used for installation of offshore wind turbine foundations

Overview

Description

GBM has developed Vibrojet as an alternative for the hydraulic hammer currently used for installation of offshore wind turbine foundations. Their process is managed by a control system with a high-tech sensor network based on edge computing concepts using deep learning/ artificial intelligence. Vibrojet reduces the soil resistance temporarily to such an extent that the huge monopile sinks down silent and gentle to target depth under its own weight.
