Lifting and upending tools for Heerema

Wind Energy – Tools for Thialf

After 2 years of intense efforts Heerema took this week successful delivery of a tip monopile lifting tools (MTLT) and a top monopile lifting tool (MPUT/FMUT).

The tip monopile lifting tools (MTLT) and a top monopile lifting tool (MPUT/FMUT) have been designed, fabricated and load tested under DNV rules and regulations by F.lli Righini. They will enable upending and installing monopiles by means of using two cranes.

Tools are equipped full with special features such as, circular design to make tools suitable to be used for flanged and non-flanged monopile with various range of diameters and weights. It’s obvious this is a major milestone in the offshore wind.

In a LinkedIn post Heerema says the first project where the tools will be used is the EnBW He Dreiht Wind Farm. Here, 64 unflanged monopiles will be installed by the installation vessel SSCV Thialf.  

Tools are in transit now.
