The patented Fast Frame has been developed to substantially reduce offshore installation times and accurately maintain the orientation and verticality of the pile.

Using the Fast Frame, the pile, complete with pre-attached chain and padeye, can be driven, uninterrupted, to final penetration, without the need to use a follower. The currect rental fleet can be used for driving piles from 20" to 96" in diameter, in proven water depths of 2000m.

Our Fast Frames have the capability

The benefits of using the Fast Frame are as follows:

• Lowers the height of the CofG of the pile and hammer assembly, thereby reducing the overall wieght, improving stability and eliminating the need to use a follower.
• Designed to DNV rules.
• Thorough stability analysis and reporting, including all aspects of piling equipment and environmental factors
• Operates in any water depth
• Fool-proof mechanical release mechanish triggered by the pile. No risky 'hydraulic only' release or need for WROV intervention
• The Fast Frame falls open to enable it to be removed from a partial driven pile.
• Fully gravity driven operating principle, no need for time consuming WROV intervention.
• Frame may be reset by simply lifting the main lift rigging or with a hydraulic contingency or alternative method.
• Pile levelling to compesate for seabed out of level of up to 5° in all directions.
• Automatic pile orientation system to direct the heading of the pile within 0.5° accuracy.
• Selection of removable and folding mudmat extensions to ensure stability and soil bearing capacity.
• Significantly stronger structure that competitors, proven to withstand multiple high velocity pile run impacts of over 100 tonnes.
• All frames are designed to an optimised weight, according to pile size, which eliminates the need to add costly ballast for stability.
• Frames are located throughout the globe, ensuring cost effective and timely delivery.
• Our frames have proven to be effective in a wide range of soil types. A range of engineering solutions are available for varying soil conditions.
• Proven design and continuous evolvement to meet client expectations and requirements. Fully customisable to meet project specific requirements
