| Pile specifications | Hammer specifications |
| Pile diameter: 22 meter | Eccentric moment: 1840 kg-m |

| Pile lenght: 40 meters | Horse power: 9.600 hp |
These impressive numbers show the specifications of the pile and vibratory hammer which are driving the world's largest pile.
It only took the APE Octakong (built up out of 8 APE Model 600 "Super Kong" vibratory driver / extractors) 7 and a half minutes to drive the pile!
After positioning the pile in 3 hours; the difficulty level of the placement was due to the fact it has to be in exact GPS position, as well as it has to face the correct degree to line up with the interlocks on each side of the pile.
