Subsea Drive Anchoring Value

Higher-capacity, lower-cost anchoring for floating wind and offshore facilities

Subsea Anchoring uses the Subsea Drive System to install anchor

Setting anchors deeper & more securely than conventional methods can be performed in most soil conditions and at any seawater depth

Subsea anchors are deeper than current anchoring systems

Provides significantly greater pullout capacity (anchoring) resulting in fewer anchors for each floating platform

Minimizes seafloor footprint while reducing costs

Applications

  • For floating offshore wind turbines

  • Floating production offshore oilfield facilities

Key benefits

  • Greater holding capacity

  • Fewer anchors per platform

  • Any soil type, any depth

  • Lower seafloor impact

  • Lower capital cost

  • Proven technology
