GBM Works and Ecowende have entered into a contract for installing three monopiles at the Hollandse Kust West (HKW) Site VI offshore wind farm, utilising GBM's noise-reducing technology, the Vibrojet.
This technique combines vibrations on the monopile's surface with GBM's jetting technology inside, reducing resistance and enhancing installation efficiency and quietness while minimising its impact on marine life. The contract encompasses engineering and manufacturing of the jetting system, as well as offshore support during installations. GBM Works is collaborating closely with Ecowende's partners Van Oord, SIF, and Ramboll to execute the project. Hollandse Kust West marks GBM Works' entry into the offshore installation market.
