    MENCK has developed a patented Noise Reduction Skirt that can attach directly to pile hammers and reduce sound energy emission during pile driving by up to 65%. The skirt is made of special noise reduction material in 5m segments that can be coupled up to 30m total. It is operated remotely by 3 winches and raises/lowers easily to follow the pile path, taking around 5 minutes to handle, significantly faster than traditional methods. MENCK is a leader in researching topside and underwater noise reduction technologies to reduce noise pollution from pile driving.

    YOUR SUCCESS – BASED ON MENCK


    MENCK Noise Reduction Skirt
    Using modern technology and old school ingenuity, MENCK is leading the industry in pile driving noise reduc-
    tion research; developing top side and underwater noise reduction systems. MENCK’s patented topside Noise
    Reduction Skirt can reduce sound energy emission around a pile up to 65%. Important for those projects close
    to noise sensitive areas.

    Built for easy handling, the MENCK Noise Reduction Skirt can be mounted directly to the hammer. Being
    raised and lowered by three winches remotely operated by the hammer technician allowing easy visibility for
    manoeuvrability and reducing handling time.
