Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of marine engineering technology, and in particular to a split suction pile anchor foundation and an offshore construction method. Background Art
[0002] Suction pile anchor foundation is widely used in marine engineering, providing anchor foundation for positioning of marine engineering structures. Its structure is a steel cylindrical structure with closed upper end and open lower end. Under the deadweight of the anchor foundation, the barrel wall penetrates into the seabed soil to form a closed space, and then the liquid in the closed space is pumped out by a pump, so that the closed space forms a pressure difference with the outside, so that the external pressure further penetrates the barrel wall deeper into the seabed soil.
[0003] For a given traditional suction pile, the depth to which it penetrates into the soil under the action of its own weight depends on the soil conditions. At the same time, the size of the internal and external pressure difference that the enclosed space formed by the pile wall and the soil can withstand depends on the penetration depth of the suction pile and the soil conditions. Therefore, the traditional suction piles and installation methods have the problem that the suction piles’ own weight does not penetrate deep enough into the soil, and a closed space cannot be formed, or the external pressure formed by the internal and external pressure difference that the formed enclosed space can withstand cannot make the pile wall penetrate to the designed penetration depth. The increase in the deadweight of traditional suction piles is limited by their own structural design and the capacity of the crane for offshore installation, which limits the soil conditions suitable for the application of traditional suction piles. Generally speaking, traditional suction piles and installation methods are more suitable for use in clay soils, but not in sandy soils, which limits the scope of application of suction piles.

Figure 1 As shown, it comprises: a suction pile structure 1 and a pontoon structure 2. The pontoon structure 2 is arranged on the top of the suction pile structure 1.
[0028] Figure 2 FIG. 1 is a side view of a suction pile structure provided according to an embodiment of the present invention.

For example, the suction pile structure 1 can be a square cylindrical structure, a cylindrical structure or a cylindrical structure of other shapes. Preferably, the suction pile structure 1 is a cylindrical structure.
[0033] Figure 3 FIG. 1 is a side view of a buoyancy structure provided according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Figure 6 As shown, the first eye plate 10 and the tugboat 16 are connected by a tow cable, and then the pontoon structure 2 is limited to the operating sea area at sea by three tugboats 16 arranged in a triangle.
[0043] In the embodiment of the present invention, the skirt plate structure 3 and the lug plate structure 4 are arranged to avoid interference between each other and between the mooring cable or mooring chain and the skirt plate structure 3 and the lug plate structure 4 .
[0044] Specifically, Figure 4 As shown, the skirt plate structure 3 is a skirt plate-like structure composed of steel brackets and steel plates, which is used to support the bottom structure of the pontoon structure 2 and transfer the deadweight of the pontoon structure 2 to the side wall of the suction pile structure 1.
[0045] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present invention, the diameter of the pontoon structure 2 is greater than the outer diameter of the suction pile structure 1. When the pontoon structure 2 is disposed above the skirt structure 3 through the leg structure 9, the bottom of the pontoon structure 2 does not contact the second eye plate 11 on the top of the suction pile structure 1.

During the unloading process, the top port of the vent pipe 14 is connected to the external pipeline and connected to the air pump. At this time, the sea valve 13 is closed, and air is pumped into the ballast tank 8 through the air pump, so that the seawater is discharged through the one-way valve 15. The present invention adjusts the ballast water and buoyancy of the pontoon structure 2 through the above-mentioned settings, and then realizes the installation and recovery process of the pontoon structure 2.
[0052] Preferably, there are multiple ballast tanks 8 , and each ballast tank 8 is provided with a corresponding pipeline 12 , a sea valve 13 , a vent pipe 14 and a one-way valve 15 .

Figure 6 As shown, it is slowly lowered to the installation position with the assistance of the tugboat 16 and the towline.
[0054] When Figure 1 As shown, after the pontoon structure 2 is located on the suction pile structure 1, the vent valve 14 of the second ballast tank 82 and the sea valve 13 are opened, so that seawater can enter the second ballast tank 82 through the pipeline 12 shown by the dotted line, thereby increasing the deadweight of the pontoon structure 2 and transferring the increased deadweight to the suction pile structure 1 through the skirt structure 3.
[0055] When recovering the buoyancy structure 2, the sea valve 14 of the first ballast tank 81 can be closed first, an air pump and an external pipeline can be set on the tugboat 16, and the external pipeline of the air pump can be connected to the vent pipe 14 of the first ballast tank 81 through a flange, and the air pump can be used to pump air into the first ballast tank 81, and the water in the first ballast tank 81 can be discharged from the buoyancy structure 2 through the one-way valve 15, and then the vent pipe valve of the vent pipe 14 of the first ballast tank 81 can be closed. The external pipeline of the air pump can be moved to the vent pipe 14 of the second ballast tank 82, and connected through a flange, and the sea valve 13 of the second ballast tank 82 can be closed, and the air pump can be used to pump air into the second ballast tank 82, and the water in the second ballast tank 82 can be discharged from the buoyancy structure 2 through the one-way valve 15, so that the buoyancy of the buoyancy structure 2 is greater than the gravity, and the buoyancy structure 2 can slowly float to the water surface for recovery and reuse.
