KENC announced the commencement of fabrication stallation and an elevated level of operational performance.

Diverless installation lies at the heart of this innovation for build a ?ange monopile upending tool [FMUT] for while the design and manufacturing process adheres to API Van Oord. Designed to face the challenges of varying sea 17L standards. This commitment to operational ef?ciency conditions, the FMUT is designed to be versatile and is further highlighted by the incorporation of a reusable pull its engineering enables ef?cient upending and lifting of head which not only enhances installation timelines but also monopiles - with a diameter between 7.5 – 8 meters - while effectively managing the challenging side leads. The adds practicality to the overall process, the company claims.
