Started in April 2020, Portuguese engineering and construction company Mota Engil drove 12 casings for the foundation of the 3 Duques D’alba. This is a future commercial pier in Portimão. The casings, 1100mm in diameter and 11 mm thick, were driven in the seabed at a depth of 21 meters. The vibratory hammer used was a PVE52M normal frequency vibratory hammer, supplied by PERTA our Portuguese dealer. Despite the complexity of the work, the total duration of this was only 1 month and 15 days, thanks to the good performance of the referred equipment.
