This vibrating block will be used in the future to install large foundation piles for offshore wind turbines safely and quietly. This is an important next step in contributing to a sustainable future. After 12 months of construction, the vibrating block was ready to leave the factory and was safely transported to its next location on 10 axel lines of Mammoet’s SPMTs.

This GIANT 2000 is the result of Dieseko’s sustainable ambitions and will enable Dieseko Group to execute further its strategy to install or decommission XXL-monopiles for wind turbines in a fast, safe and more silent way.
