41 Test results 24/11/2015 SNAMES Technical Talk, November

42 Structural design DESIGN OF DRAG EMBEDMENT ANCHORS 24/11/ SNAMES Technical Talk, November 2015

43 Anchor handling 43 Modern AHVs are extremely powerfull: High bollard pull applied during anchor installation Large winches used during anchor recovery SNAMES Technical Talk, November /11/2015

44 Anchor handling 44 Mobile moorings: Anchors deployed and recovered using chaser system Mooring line in contact with anchor during recovery Over lifetime multiple installations SNAMES Technical Talk, November /11/2015

45 Anchor handling 45 Permanent moorings: Anchors generally placed carefully on seabed Single installation during lifetime High installation loads possible SNAMES Technical Talk, November /11/2015

46 Structural design The structural design must be sufficient to withstand: The maximum holding capacity in the seabed (UPC) Forces due to normal anchor handling, installation / recovery Accidental situations, for example: Anchor stuck behind seabed obstruction Pulling sidewards on the anchor Dropping of the anchor 24/11/2015 SNAMES Technical Talk, November

47 Structural design Carefull consideration must be given to the accidental loading conditions. It is not possible to predict all situations that will occur. It is not possible to design for all. 24/11/2015 SNAMES Technical Talk, November

48 Final steps Structural analysis of MA7 anchor to be completed resulting in selection of plate thicknesses Final relationship between anchor size (weight) and holding capacity to be defined Documentation to be submitted for type approval. Before that time on a case by case basis. 24/11/2015 SNAMES Technical Talk, November
