MENCK Noise Reduction Skirt
Using modern technology and old school ingenuity, MENCK is leading the industry in pile driving noise reduction
research; developing top side and underwater noise reduction systems. MENCK’s patented topside Noise
Reduction Skirt can reduce sound energy emission around a pile up to 65%. Important for those projects close
to noise sensitive areas.
Built for easy handling, the MENCK Noise Reduction Skirt can be mounted directly to the hammer. Being
raised and lowered by three winches remotely operated by the hammer technician allowing easy visibility for
manoeuvrability and reducing handling time.
