Screw Anchors « Back

Screw anchors for moorings and pipeline stabilization. Screw anchors have been used throughout the world for many applications both on land and into the seabed.

Screw anchors have been used throughout the world for many applications both on land and into the seabed. The screw anchor is designed to screw into almost any soft surface seabed. The screw anchor rig consists of a surface unit with a stand-alone diesel power unit running the pneumatics and hydraulics. The machine is connected to the subsurface drill unit via a 50-metre umbilical. This unit is controlled by the operator using underwater camera and has a fine degree of control, allowing gentle and correct placement of the drill unit, minimising any potential environmental damage.

MACS has designed and built a screw rig specifically for the aquaculture and commercial industry. Installation begins with a consultation to work out what size anchor is required for the area in question, also the precise position. Screws are then positioned using our DGPS and installed. For best results surface infrastructures are connected 2 days afterwards to anchor warps, which would allow for settling of the seabed.
