AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Conventional anchor systems for offshore wind projects are limited by their suitability to specific seabed conditions, are costly, time-consuming, and prone to tether damage and failure due to high horizontal loads, making them unreliable and expensive for site-wide use.

Method used

A method involving a stepped borehole with varying cross-sectional dimensions and a horizontal load dissipating member, secured with a fixing medium, to anchor piles and mooring tethers, ensuring stable and efficient load distribution.

Benefits of technology

The solution provides a reliable and cost-effective anchoring system capable of withstanding high loads, reducing tether damage and failure, and adapting to varied seabed conditions, thus enhancing the durability and efficiency of offshore wind projects.

Abstract

How to install an anchor system The present invention relates to an anchor system that is used by embedding it in a borehole drilled in the seabed. The borehole has a first upper end and a second lower end. The dimension of the cross section of the second upper end is smaller than the dimension of the cross section of the second upper end. The method also includes filling the borehole with a fixing medium. Furthermore, this anchor system is equipped with an anchor pile and a member for dissipating horizontal loads. Using the system, an anchor pile is installed at the bottom of the first section, and a member is installed to release the horizontal load to other sections. The second upper end is installed at an interval from the anchor pile, and a fixing bolt is inserted into the borehole. Fill with medium.
