OFFSHORE Vibrodrivers

PTC has been mastering vibration technology for several decades and has developed a range of Vibratory hammers that can drive very large and heavy piles in offshore projects, guaranteeing low noise emissions underwater that comply to the most recent environmental regulations.

PTC Vibrodrivers combine smart design and powerful technology.

These robust Vibrodrivers are highly reliable under extreme working conditions and are suitable for all types of offshore foundations works requiring to drive or extract :

Large diameter piles, Anchor piles, Dolphin piles, Mooring piles, Offshore wind turbine foundations (tripods, jackets, monopiles

Our sales, engineering and service teams work in cooperation with our clients throughout all the project phases:

The offshore Vibrodriver range

PTC has developed the largest and most powerful vibrodriver range, allowing to drive piles weighing up to 1000 tons.

The Offshore vibrodriver ranging from the 120HD vibrodriver with an eccentric moment of 120m.kg to the 3x200HD vibrodrivers with an eccentric of 1500 m.kg for a maximum pile weight of 1000 tons.

Pile driving and pile extraction

PTC Vibrodrivers are capable of vibrating large diameter piles through vertical vibrations, which are produced by the eccentrics located in the vibrator’s gearbox.

These vibrations reduce the friction between the soil and the pile, thus allowing a fast and easy penetration.

Vibrodrivers can also extract piles using the pulling force of the vibrator and the crane. Extraction works do not require any additionnal modification in the equipment.

The vibrations generated by the vibrodriver are transmitted to the pile through the clamp, which plays the key role of connecting the Vibrodriver and the pile.

Hydraulic power packs supply the energy required by the vibrodriver.
