Since early 2024，The first energy island is being built in the Princess Elisabeth district, 45 kilometers off the Belgian coast.。This six-hectare“Princess Elizabeth Island”It is expected to become an energy hub around 2030.，And make an important contribution to Europe's sustainable energy supply.。The island will be built on 23 caissons.，Caisson production began this year at the North Sea port of Vlissingen in the Netherlands by a Belgian company.DEMEAndJan de NulA joint venture of the GroupTM EdisonManufacturing is carried out。Each caisson is about 60 meters long.、30 meters wide、22 meters high。Electric Backpack by WicknorthenACBeVibrators and a variety of high-frequency built-in vibratorsIRFUBe used for the reinforcement of these concrete members。

All-weather efficient concrete reinforcement

Wicknorthen has extensive experience in the field of concrete reinforcement.，Provided long-term technical support for the construction site。More than 120 powerful high frequency built-in vibratorsIRFUBe put into use，Ensure that the concrete reinforcement work continues to be efficient and stable in the all-weather construction process.。“The pouring of each caisson shall last for 24 hour，It usually takes seven to eight days.。During this time,，Concrete reinforcement needs to be carried out continuously。We have complete confidence in the technical expertise and reliability of our products.。Wicknorthen provided a very good solution to our technical challenges.。” Jan de Nul/TM EdisonTechnical Supervisor of Heavy EquipmentMatthias LiefoogheSaid。

Customer Manager, Wicknorthen Holland Concrete TechnologyLex van LeusdenAdded：“In this kind of project，Close cooperation with customers is particularly important.。We are proud to participate in the construction of the first energy island with our expertise.。”

Unmatched flexibility and security

In the project，Wicknorthen's battery-operated backpack built-in vibrator system is also used.。Backpack type electric vibratorACBeAllows the operator to work without cables，Thus providing greater freedom of movement and greater operational comfort。ACBeA powerful lithium-ion battery（Battery One）Drive，The battery can be quickly swapped between the backpack and other devices.。LiefoogheExpress：“If the battery is depleted，Only the battery needs to be replaced.，Press the button to continue working。So，We can continue the concrete reinforcement work.。”

 

In addition，Using a battery-powered system also eliminates the safety hazard of cables and power cables soaking into wet concrete，Significantly improve the safety of the construction site.。
