From designing a complete pile driving system down to minute micro processes, MENCK has dedicated personnel to guide project development. Every aspect of a pile driving project is carefully considered before the hammer hits the pile.

Starting with initial product design, components are proofed, simulated and tested. Life cycle analysis and load analysis of not only hammer components but also the pile are done. When designing a part, the stability and robustness are tested long before the final drawing is sent out for production. Using various tools such as MathCad, Mathematica, Simulink, DSH plus and even “Final Element Analysis” which is a process unthinkable to do by hand. 

Final Element Analysis utilizes software to run complex calculations to find weak spots of a design in various environments such as “static” where the object doesn’t move, “dynamic” where the object is under constant stress and “transient” where there are variable levels of stress.

In pre-project planning, the environment of the installation is analyzed such as seabed construction and safety & risk analysis. During a project, information is continuously gathered and used to tweak performance. After a project, job information is compiled into efficiency reports to analyze hammer performance and recommend areas for improvement.
