IHC Hydrohammer, part of IHC Merwede, has been awarded a contract by Seaway Heavy Lifting to design and manufacture the S-2500 piling hammer, which, the company says, will be the largest it has ever built.
The order also includes a 6,500mm guide sleeve and other equipment needed for offshore operations in the oil and gas and offshore wind markets.
