8 Mooring systems in general : Catenary mooring chain wire rope drag embedment anchor
9 Mooring systems in general: Taut leg mooring synthetic rope wire rope vertical loaded anchor (VLA)
10 Mooring system elements SEA LEVEL 90 mm rig wire MOORED OBJECT Mooring systems are Either pre-installed or installed when the unit arrives at the location Swivel Shackle Pearlink Thimble Pearlink 133 mm x 1000 m (or 1500 m) polyester rope Shackle Swivel Thimble Pearlink Pearlink 84 mm x 500 m ORQ chain SEABED 15 mt Stevpris Mk5 Anchor
11 Anchoring options gravity anchor pile suction pile Gravity installed: DPA, torpedo, etc drag embedment anchor
12 A drag embedment anchor is pulled in (dragged in) to the subseabed. The capacity and performance is a function of anchor type/size and the in-situ geotechical conditions.
13 Majority of the moored structures around the world uses drag anchors; Vryhof only over 9000 anchors - about 1600 anchors on permanent systems Stevin Stevpris Mk3, Mk5 Stevshark Mk3, Mk5 Stevpris Mk6 Stevmanta VLA
14 Installation records: project distribution world-wide
15 Only a special category of drag embedment anchors is suitable for offshore use A Class anchors
16 Anchor holding capacity in medium dense silica SAND Typical Ultimate Holding Capacity [ton] --> Anchor size [ton] --> Stevpris Mk6 Bruce FFTS Flipper Delta Moorfast Stockless
17 DESIGN PROCESS : requirements / specs Client specifies Mooring / metocean conditions Type of mooring system Spread or single point Catenary or taut or semi-taut Type of moored object Permanent (FPSO, FSO, FPI) Temporary (MODU, barge, etc) Mooring line characteristics Anchor loads (quasi-static / dynamic) intact damaged transient Specifications and applicable codes Client may provide Site conditions Location (maps) Bathymetry Geophysical data Geohazards Geological data Geotechnical data Suitable anchor type & size fluke/shank angle setting Drag + Penetration Inverse catenary of forerunner Installation requirements Installation performance Long term performance Client requires
18 ANCHOR HOLDING CAPACITY & ANCHOR STABILITY is a function of soil conditions, anchor type, anchor size Fluke/shank angle setting ANCHOR CAPACITY & STABILITY is not dependent on the dead weight / dry weight of the anchor but on the design / geometry of the anchor!! Our designs meets the requirements of the all classifications societies or regulatory authorities. We have working experience will all classification societies worldwide.
19 Utilising results from anchor tests: Soft models Empirical Anchor _ UHC = A c * W n F ins UHC Anchor _ penetration = m F Anchor _ drag ins = * UHC A d * A pd *[ W ] d p *[ W ] CBR & KBR 9000 anchors, thousands of documented installation Numerical, constitutive
20 A simple anchor sizing exercise for generic soils soil : very soft clay : silica SAND forerunner : chain : chain required UHC : 400 t : 400 t pre-tension load : 250 t : 250 t Stevpris Mk6 size : 10 t 5 t
21 Fluke/shank angles Small, middle and large fluke/shank angles.
22 Mounting and changing fluke-shank angle is simple and quick min shank front pintle fluke rear pintle sand angle mud angle
23 Numerous Installation means and methods are applicable See our anchor manual or visit Stevpris /Stevshark handling/deployment with chaser
24 Stevpris /Stevshark can be retrieved by using mooring line itself PCP Recovery pennant Recovery bridle
25 STEVMANTA VLA: anchor of choice for semi-taut and taut leg moorings with very high vertical and horizontal loads Permanent moorings Temporary moorings, MODUs Angle adjuster Angle adjuster Shear pin Chain shank Fluke plate Wire shank Streamlined fluke plate Recovery socket
26 Characteristics of the Stevmanta VLA Deep penetrating anchor in soft soils Suitable for supporting large vertical and horizontal loads Optimal choice for semi-taut and taut leg moorings Easy installation: installed like a conventional drag embedment anchor After installation, loading at any angle (0 to 90 degrees) Loading in all directions possible V/H ratio : 2.5 to 3.5 Easy anchor recovery
27 Stevmanta VLA is suitable for high mooring loads with 0 to 90 uplift angle at the mudline AND loading directions with 360 degrees freedom (weathervaning systems)
28 Installation options: various methods are possible for details please refer to Vryhof Anchor manual or Option 1: Single line installation with one AHV Single line installation: shear pin - angle adjuster
29
30 Stevmanta VLA recovery 1) With tail 2) With special sockets 3) pull-back the installation line: double line and fixed angle adjuster option
31 Other installation options for drag embedment anchors are to use surface or subsea tensioning methods High horizontal loads with vertical pull in the order of 40% to 50% of the required tension Use of small installation vessels Real-time measurement and record of tension data Less sensitive to sea state
32 Load, anchor penetration and drag can be measured At the field by simple means
33 As well as using advanced tools like Stevtrack with the real time measurement of load at the anchor and anchor positions/orientations
