Typical operation
• BLUE Hammers can drive piles without requiring noise mitigation
• Equals (tens of) millions savings noise mitigation costs
17 mei 2013 Titel 8
Results: Fatigue
• The application of a BLUE Hammer allows savings of more than 85% on the installation fatigue.
• Further investigation by RAMBOLL shows that fully assembled monopiles can be driven, with boat landing, anodes etc. welded onto the pile.

Future steps
Currently is Fistuca BV building the most powerful, most quiet and most gentle hammer in the world.
This will allow the industry to save tens of millions per project by reduced noise emissions, fatigue and the possibility of using larger and fully assembled piles.
Hammer will be available for rent by the end of 2017.
