The Netherlands: Mercon to Launch New Product during EWEA Offshore 2011

Mercon launches a new product during the EWEA Offshore Wind in Amsterdam on 29/30 November and 1 December, together with partner ALE.

Visit their stand and learn all about their new innovation EMI – for Eco Metmast Installation. EMI is an eco-friendly and economical way to install metmasts offshore.

With the EMI method, no piles need to be hammered for fixing the foundation to the seabed. This makes the installation very friendly to sealife. Metmast and foundation are installed in one single operation. Suction anchor technology keeps the structure at its place and enhances easy installation and decommissioning of the metmast.

The EMI installation method is much quicker and cheaper than the current more conventional ways. An expensive installation vessel is not needed anymore. Moreover no hammering is necessary which also saves costs.
