Offshore foundations – In the oceans

The world’s oceans offer considerable potential for the generation of renewable energy from wind, waves and tidal currents. Secure anchoring of offshore wind turbines and high-energy systems on the ocean floor is essential here. We have developed a range of equipment and innovative methods for underwater use to enable safe and economical foundations even with particularly difficult seabed.

BAUER Seabed Drill

Developed for applications in competent rock and high energy currents, our underwater cased or uncased drilling rig. The BAUER Seabed Drill allows for quick and easy pile installations. Capable of working in currents of up to 12 knots, the BSD 3000 underwater drilling rig and subsea template is lowered to the seabed from a floating vessel and operated by remote control via umbilicals.

Dive Drill C40

Foundations for offshore wind turbines are frequently carried out with conventional pile driving methods. In unfavorable soil conditions, however, it is possible that the piles cannot be driven any deeper. We developed the Dive Drill C40 to achieve the target depth in these particular cases – a method known as Drive-Drill-Drive.

Dive Drill

The Dive Drill CU 44 is applicable for pin pile and mooring pile installation in any rock or soil condition as well as for relief drilling for piles (Drive-Drill-Drive). Water depths up to 100m and rock strength of +200 MPa are a welcome challenge. If required, we can operate up to four dive drills simultaneously.
