Definitions
- the disclosure relates to pile anchor systems and methods, and particularly to pile anchor systems and methods for offshore petroleum structures, such as floating structures, drilling or production risers, and other marine structures.
- the pile is generally a tubular element that is installed into seabed deposits that form the sea floor.
- various methods can be used to install the pile into the sea floor. At great depths, it may be problematic to use a pile-driving hammer or other equipment to install the pile.
- a type of pile known as a suction pile
- a suction pile is particularly suitable for deep water development.
- a suction pile is a tubular element with a closed top and open bottom that is installed vertically into the sea floor by self weight penetration and suction pressure.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a pile installed into a sea floor.
- the suction pile, pile 2 may be installed in the sea floor 4.
- the pile 2 includes a top 6, sometimes known as a "pile cap,” attached to tubular sides 8, and is open at the bottom 10.
- the top 6 can include a valve 12 that gives access to the interior volume 11 of the pile 2 between the sides 8 and the top 6.
- the pile 2 further includes a padeye 14.
- the padeye 14 generally is a reinforced section used to attach an anchor line or other coupling member 16 to a structure (not shown) that may need mooring or otherwise securing.
- the installation technique generally includes locating the pile 2 in an appropriate location and lowering the pile into the sea floor 4 with cables. Typical the pile will penetrate under its own weight into the seafloor deposits until the resistance from the seabed deposits equals the self weight. Water can then be pumped out of the pile through the value 12 to create a differential pressure in the volume 11 with a net downward force to push the pile to a desired depth of full penetration.
- the pile 2 can have different configurations. Some piles may include external fins that extend outwardly from the side. Other piles can include internal baffles or stiffening members that, for example, can be selectively depressurized to position the piles at different angles relative to the sea floor. Some designs have hemispherical tops. Other piles include groups of suction piles coupled together to form an assembly.
- a suction pile, driven pile or any other tubular structure penetrated into the seabed to support or resist loads is referred to generally herein as a pile.
- Piles can become damaged, worn, or otherwise degraded.
- the pile is either removed, or abandoned, and another pile is installed at another location near the first pile.
- the sea floor 4 has been disturbed and the shear resistance around the installed pile may be significantly reduced.
- the sea floor deposits 4 may require several months of consolidation and recovery after a pile is installed to provide full strength to the anchoring of the pile in the sea floor deposits.
- the present disclosure provides an improved system and method for increasing an anchoring force on a pile.
- the concepts regarding the pile can apply whether the pile capacity has been degraded and no longer able to support its intended load, or a load on the pile has increased to a level that may overstress the pile.
- a sleeve can be installed even in subsea conditions over the pile and can be used to provide an additional securing force to the existing pile.
- the sleeve may include its own padeye for coupling an anchor line or other coupling member to a structure to be secured.
- the sleeve may comprise a tubular sleeve or include an assembly of rings coupled together with at least one or more longitudinal members. An pile sleeve assembly with rings spaced a distance away from each other can help reduce the installation friction on the sleeve, as it is installed into the sea floor.
- the disclosure provides a method for rehabilitating an existing pile installed into a sea floor, comprising: positioning a pile sleeve having a padeye; allowing the pile sleeve to be lowered over the pile; and securing the sleeve to the pile.
- the disclosure also provides a rehabilitation system for a subsea an existing pile, installed into a sea floor, the system comprising: a sleeve having a outer shell forming an interior volume and at least partially open on a bottom of the sleeve; a padeye coupled to the sleeve, the padeye having a section of material coupled to the sleeve with an opening disposed through the material; and the sleeve being adapted to be inserted over a pile.
- This disclosure in addition provides a rehabilitation system of transferring new or additional loading on the existing pile at a point either at the top, bottom or any selected location between the top and bottom of the pile sleeve system.
- Figure 1 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a suction pile installed into a sea floor.
- Figure 2 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a system for supporting a pile sleeve installed in a sea floor.
- Figure 3A is a cross-sectional schematic view of the sleeve system with a supplementary support system.
- Figure 3B is a cross-sectional schematic view of an alternative supplementary support system.
- Figure 3 C is a plan schematic view of the supplementary support system.
- Figure 4 is a perspective schematic view of another embodiment of the sleeve.
- Figure 5 is a side schematic view of an alternative embodiment of the sleeve shown in Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a top schematic view of a lower ring shown in Figure 5.
- Figure 7 is a top schematic view of an upper ring shown in Figure 5.
- Figure 8 is a perspective schematic view of another embodiment of the sleeve.
- FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional schematic diagram of a system for supporting a pile installed in a sea floor.
- the pile 2, having a padeye 14, is installed at least partially in a sea floor 4. Due to degraded conditions, additional loading, or other circumstances, the pile 2 may not be suitable for supporting an intended load.
- a sleeve 20 can be installed over the pile 2 to provide additional support for the load.
- the sleeve generally includes a sleeve cap 26 as a top of the sleeve coupled to an outer shell 28 with at least a partially open bottom 30 to form an interior volume 31.
- the sleeve 10 may generally include a padeye ring 22, which may be integral with or separate from an upper portion of the sleeve 20.
- the padeye ring 22 generally includes a sleeve padeye 24 coupled thereto.
- the pile, sleeve, and rings are shown having a circular cross- section. However, it is to be understood that other geometric cross-sections can be used and are contemplated, including square, rectangular, octagonal, hexagonal, elliptical, and other cross-sectional shapes as may be appropriate.
- annular space 32 formed between the exterior of the pile 2 and the interior of the sleeve 20 can be filled with grout, if desired.
- the sleeve 20 can be secured to the pile 2 by a number of methods known to those with ordinary skill in the art. For example, depending on the angle of force exerted on the sleeve, and frictional forces between the sleeve and the pile 2 and/or sea floor 4, the sleeve may be self-securing to the pile. The frictional forces between the sleeve and the pile, or even the sleeve and the sea floor materials, may "lock" the sleeve to the pile, so that relative vertical movement is restrained. In other circumstances, the sleeve may be secured by grouting, adhesives, or other chemical/mechanical means.
- a locking system 34 can include welding the sleeve to the pile, inserting a pin through an opening in the sleeve and/or pile, using a threaded nut, or other means.
- the sleeve cap 26 can be at least partially open to allow a portion of the pile to extend through the sleeve 20 to lock the sleeve to the pile.
- the sleeve may be used to rehabilitate the degraded pile by proving a new coupling location with a new padeye for the coupling member. Further, the sleeve can be used to expand the effective surface area of the pile to provide greater resistance in the sea floor and greater ability to support loads from the coupling member on the pile that without the sleeve.
- a coupling member 36 can be coupled to the sleeve padeye 24.
- the coupling member 36 can be coupled to a structure 38 such as a tension leg platform, semi-submersible platform, or other structures as may be appropriately moored or otherwise secured to a pile.
- the coupling member can include, without limitation, cables, chains, and other anchor lines, such as in catenary or taut-line applications, known to those with ordinary skill in the art.
- Figure 3A is a cross-sectional schematic view of the sleeve system with a supplementary support system.
- Figure 3B is a cross-sectional schematic view of an alternative supplementary support system.
- Figure 3 C is a top schematic view of the supplementary support system.
- the figures will be described in conjunction with each other. Elements with similar numbers as described above are similarly used herein.
- the pile 2 is installed in the sea floor 4.
- a sleeve 20 is installed and coupled with the pile 2.
- a coupling member 36 is coupled between the sleeve 20 and a structure 38.
- the support provided by the pile 2 may be inadequate for the particular load on the coupling member 36, even with a sleeve 20.
- other support structures maybe used.
- a supplemental pile 40 may be installed at some desired distance from the pile 2.
- a coupling member 44 can be used with the supplemental pile 40, such as in a lower portion of the pile 40, to provide the additional support to the pile 2 with the sleeve 20.
- the sleeve 20 can include an additional padeye 43 that provides a coupling location for the coupling member 44 from the sleeve 20 to the pile 40.
- the coupling member 44 disposed between the sleeve 20 and the pile 40 could be aligned in an opposite direction from the coupling member 36 disposed between the pile 2 and the structure 38.
- such supplementary support structures will be positioned at a non-zero angle " ⁇ " relative to the coupling member 36, as shown in Figure 3 C, and advantageously between about 90° to about 270°.
- a coupling member 46 may be coupled between the sleeve 20 and the sleeve 42.
- an anchoring member 48 may be used as an alternative to the supplemental pile 40.
- the anchoring member 48 may be a structure embedded into the sea floor and generally shaped to provide greater resistance in at least one direction than another.
- the anchoring member 48 can provide resistance to movement of the pile 2 and the sleeve 20 caused by a force from the coupling member 36.
- the sleeve 20 may include an additional padeye 43 to couple a coupling member 46 between the sleeve 20 and the anchoring member
- piles 42A, 42B shown in Figure 3 C can be installed at some non-zero angle, such as angles ⁇ A and ⁇ B, respectively.
- One or more padeyes 43A and 43B, respectively, can be used to couple one or more coupling members to the pile 2 and/or sleeve 20.
- Figure 4 is a perspective schematic view of another embodiment of the sleeve.
- the sleeve 20 can include an assembly of two or more rings coupled together with one or more longitudinal members. It is believed that the assembly of the sleeve shown in Figure 4 is lighter in weight than a correspondingly sized solid outer shell sleeve. The assembly may also provide less friction due to less surface area, as the sleeve is installed over the pile, in surrounding layers of material in the sea floor 4.
- the sleeve 20 can include an upper sleeve ring 50 and a lower sleeve ring 52 with at least one longitudinal member 56 coupled therebetween.
- the longitudinal member 56 generally extends outward from the rings by a portion of the longitudinal member 56, herein termed an extension portion 58.
- the extension portion 58 can include fins, webs portions of formed structures, and so forth.
- more than one longitudinal member may be used to support the rings around the sleeve perimeter. For example, three longitudinal members are shown, but the number of longitudinal members can vary from one to many.
- the longitudinal member 56 may further include a pointed end to help facilitate installation in the sea floor 4 shown in Figure 2.
- the longitudinal member may also assist in maintaining rotational alignment as the sleeve is embedded in the sea floor 4 materials.
- the longitudinal member 56 has sufficient strength to avoid undue bending of the sleeve 20 at least during installation, so that the sleeve will not bind on the pile 2 as it is installed.
- the sleeve 20 can include an intermediate sleeve ring 54.
- the intermediate sleeve ring 54 can further assist in maintaining alignment and avoiding buckling of the assembly at least during installation of the sleeve on the pile.
- a top 60 of the sleeve 20 may be at least partially open. In general, the top is used to limit the amount of travel of the sleeve downward over the piles.
- the lower sleeve ring 52 generally includes a padeye 24.
- the padeye 24 is formed of a section 64 that extends radially outward relative to a longitudinal axis 57 that passes through an inner portion of the rings.
- the padeye generally has an opening 66 formed therethrough, generally used to couple the coupling member 36 thereto, shown in Figure 2.
- the padeye can further include a padeye clearance portion 62 that is open to the internal portion of the ring 52.
- the padeye clearance portion 62 can be sufficiently sized, so that the ring 52 can be installed over the original padeye 14 of the pile 2, such as shown in Figure 2.
- the one or more rings 50, 52, 54 are generally spaced a distance from each other in the sleeve 20, shown in Figure 4.
- the rings 50, 54 can be separated by a spacing 68
- the rings 54, 52 can be separated by a spacing 70.
- the spacing, and absence of ring material in the spacing may provide less friction between the sleeve 20 and the layers of material in the sea floor 4 through which the sleeve is installed.
- Figure 5 is a side schematic view of an alternative embodiment of the sleeve shown in Figure 4.
- Figure 6 is a top schematic view of a lower ring shown in Figure 5.
- Figure 7 is a top schematic view of an upper ring shown in Figure 5. The drawings will be described in conjunction with each other. Similar elements as described above will be used herein.
- the sleeve 20 can include a number of rings, such as rings 50, 52 and 54, coupled together with one or more longitudinal members 56.
- the spacings 68, 70 between the rings can provide openings to the subsea conditions, and to the sea floor material.
- the padeye 24 extends radially outward from the sleeve 20 and is generally coupled to the lower sleeve ring 52.
- the padeye 24 includes a section 64 and an opening 66 extending therethrough.
- the lower ring 52 can be extended outwardly relative to the pile 2 with a padeye extension 74 to a suitable radial location for the padeye 24 to be coupled thereto.
- the pile 2 relative to the ring 52 is shown for reference, but it is understood that other variations are possible and contemplated. In some embodiments, it may be conducive to couple a longitudinal member 56 to the extension 74 on one or both sides of the padeye 24.
- the upper ring 50 shown disposed about the pile 2 for reference, can include an extension 76 disposed radially outward from the pile.
- the extension 76 can provide support for the one or more longitudinal members extending to the ring 52 and aligned therewith.
- Figure 8 is a perspective schematic view of another embodiment of the sleeve. In some instances, the sleeve 20 may be completely enclosed, with the exception of the base which is open, should suction pressure be required to drive the sleeve to depth on the pile 2.
- the sleeve 20 can be used to rehabilitate a pile 2 that is installed into the sea floor 4.
- the pile would be investigated for a variety of conditions of the pile and a determination made of any degradation that would significant impact the ability of the pile to support a load, or otherwise indicate that the installation of a sleeve is appropriate. Based on that determination, the sleeve could be installed over the pile.
- the sleeve 20 is positioned adjacent to the pile 2, if the pile was already installed into the sea floor 4.
- the sleeve padeye 24 is aligned with the pile padeye 24, and the sleeve is allowed to be lowered over the pile.
- the sleeve can be driven over the pile or lowered over the pile through its own weight.
- the sleeve is maintained in rotational alignment with the pile, so that the sleeve padeye is in a similar position as a pile padeye after installation.
- the sleeve then becomes a substitute for the purpose of the pile without necessitating installing a new pile to replace the former pile.
- grouting may be installed between the sleeve and the pile.
- the coupling member can be coupled to the sleeve padeye generally prior to installation over the pile, or, in some circumstances, after installation. If desirable or necessary, the sleeve can be locked to the pile.
- references to at least one item followed by a reference to the item may include one or more items.
- the device or system may be used in a number of directions and orientations.
- the term “coupled,” “coupling,” “coupler,” and like terms are used broadly herein and may include any method or device for securing, binding, bonding, fastening, attaching, joining, inserting therein, forming thereon or therein, communicating, or otherwise associating, for example, mechanically, magnetically, electrically, chemically, directly or indirectly with intermediate elements, one or more pieces of members together and may further include without limitation integrally forming one functional member with another in a unity fashion.
- the coupling may occur in any direction, including rotationally.
