The Noise Mitigation Deployment System (NMDS) safely and efficiently installs the Hydro Sound Damper Net. This net, designed for environmental compliance, reduces underwater noise during offshore monopile installations.
the Noise Mitigation System efficiently deploys hydro sound dampers to reduce underwater noise during offshore wind installations. This innovative system seamlessly integrates with monopile gripper systems, ensuring compliance with strict environmental regulations.
KENC’s NMDS seamlessly integrates with monopile grippers, connecting directly to the gripper’s doors. This synchronized movement ensures a smooth, efficient, and safe installation process without equipment collisions.
The NMDS includes a specially engineered basket to deploy the hydro sound damper net. The basket, located under the monopile gripper, is lowered into the sea by 18 winches. Balancing the weight of the basket was essential—it needed to be heavy enough to counteract the buoyancy of the sound damper net yet light enough for the monopile gripper to handle effectively. This balanced design enables stable and reliable deployment in diverse marine conditions.
KENC’s NMDS is fabricated using the highest quality materials and advanced hydraulic and control systems. Working alongside expert subcontractors, KENC ensures that every component—from steel fabrication to hydraulic controls—is optimized for the demands of offshore operations. The system includes eight skids with winches that maintain precise control over the basket, allowing for accurate positioning and noise mitigation.
Every NMDS undergoes rigorous testing and commissioning before deployment to ensure compliance with classification standards and flawless integration with vessel operations. Our team meticulously installs and tests the NMDS on-site to guarantee readiness under tight deadlines.
