Suction pile jacket foundations

If you’re looking for significant cost reductions in the fabrication and offshore installation of a jacket, founding it with SPT Offshore’s suction piles is the solution.

Benefits of suction piles for jacket foundations

  • Fabrication costs are reduced significantly, since no pile sleeves, -catchers, -centralizers, mud mats and leveling padeyes are required
  • No pile drive-, leveling- and grout spread and operation required
  • Easy decommissioning by reversed installation
  • Use of a suitable lift vessel or sheerleg reduce T&I costs 
  • Integrated scour protection system, hence no seabed preparations or rock dumping

Product Characteristics

  • Traditional jacket with integrated suction pile foundation
  • Water depths up to 120 meter

Self Installing Platform (SIP)

If you’re looking for a fast-track, cost efficient and easily relocatable platform which can be quickly installed without the use of a heavy lift vessel, our SIP is the answer. This type of platform is especially designed for marginal fields, with an expected field lifetime less than 10 years.

Benefits of the SIP

  • Offshore installation in less less than 52 hours
  • Platform can easily be relocated, spreading CAPEX
  • No heavy lift vessel required, improving flexibility and reducing costs
  • Fabrication costs are reduced significantly, since no pile sleeves, -catchers, -centralizers, mud mats and leveling padeyes are required
  • No pile drive-, leveling- and grout spread and operation required
  • Cold commissioning can be per formed onshore
  • Engineering and installation by one party, hence SPT Offshore takes over installation and in-situ responsibility

Product Characteristics

  • Four legged platform founded on suction piles
  • Topsides weight up to 15,000t
  • Water depth up to 60m
  • Up to 4 conductors protected in the platform legs
