The most significant design parameter of the FMUT was to enable efficient upending and lifting of monopiles. Strength was another factor: KENC\u2019s FMUT can handle monopiles weighing up to 1,600 tonnes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe are genuinely proud to see our FMUT in action for Van Oord,\u201d says Vincent Vinkoert, business development manager at KENC Engineering. \u201cThe collaborative process with Van Oord during the design, engineering, fabrication, testing and commissioning of this crucial monopile installation tool was very positive for us. Now it\u2019s operating smoothly and soundly, we are proud to underline our position as turnkey supplier of monopile lifting and handling tools.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Flange Mounted Upending Tool [FMUT]\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/HpyURfniFxg?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>KENC Engineering is proud to announce that \u2013 using our purpose-built Flange Monopile Upending Tool (FMUT) \u2013 Van Oord has installed the first monopile foundation at an Offshore Wind Farm in the UK.
