General – Hydraulic Hammer
Menck, Acteon’s Marine Foundations business line, has successfully delivered the first of two MHU4400S hydraulic hammer systems to Heerema Marine Contractors under a strategic multi-million-pound agreement.
This milestone marks the first phase of a two-hammer supply agreement that reinforces the long-standing collaboration between Heerema and Acteon.
The hammers will join Heerema’s extensive fleet of Menck’s systems, further strengthening its position among leading transport and installation (T&I) contractors.
The scope of supply includes the hammers with dedicated transport cradles, each accompanied by an innovative Menck Noise Reduction Unit (MNRU), and a custom set of tools, parts, and consumables – enhancing Heerema’s offshore installation capabilities while supporting compliance with stringent environmental regulations.
With just three months between contract award and delivery, Heerema gains early operational benefits while retaining the flexibility to optimise performance ahead of the second phase.
The second hammer system is scheduled for delivery in October 2027, supporting Heerema’s phased operational planning.
