This vibrating Ьɩoсk 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 Ьɩoсk was ready to ɩeаⱱe the factory and was safely transported to its next location on 10 axel lines of Mammoet’s SPMTs.
