Anchoring

Horizontal & Vertical Anchoring Options

Anchoring Options
Module Stability

 We have several anchoring options that depend upon the bottom type and the largest expected wave climate in your area (often called a 50-year storm).  There are two types of stability that can be addressed with anchors, movement of modules across the seafloor (horizontal stability) and subsidence into the seabed (vertical stability).  If your seafloor is soft, you most likely need vertical stability only.  If your seafloor is hard, you only need horizontal stability.  Anchoring may or may not be required depending upon your wave climate.  The pictures below have descriptions of some of our more common anchoring solutions.
