  • Cementitious grout may be be pumped through grout hoses (not shown) attached to the pin pile 23 which guide the cementitious material into and through bores (not shown) within the pin pile so as to emerge from the base of the pin pile thereby to fill the concentric void arising from the drilling between the pin-pile and the drilled seabed with a grout infilling.
  • Sufficient grout is pumped into the void so as completely to fill the void to the level of the seabed SB as is schematically illustrated at 25 in Figure 7. Completion of this grout filing operation can be confirmed using a sensor or sensors at seabed level (not illustrated) which will react to the emergence of grout 15 from below.
  • Figure 8 shows that after the grout injected through the pin-pile to form the grout filling 25 has set, the conductor 15 is lifted a short distance until it is only engaged with the jacket 5 inner tube 5A by a small amount, sufficient to hold it in place despite currents or waves.

  • This annular void is filled with cementitious grout 26 until it reaches the level of the base of the conductor tube 15 .
  • This level can be calculated from the volume of grout needed to fill a space of known

  • Figure 10 shows the completed footing after the conductor tube 15 and all cables and hoses have been detached.
