Technological Capabilities

Suction Pile

  • Suction technology is a method used to install foundations for offshore structures on the seabed. It primarily involves securing structures to the seabed using suction buckets or suction anchors and vacuum pressure. This technology offers advantages such as high installation speed and accuracy, as well as minimal environmental impact.
  • K-BETS provides a method for the stable installation of suction piles into the seabed by deriving data such as the minimum and maximum suction pressure of the suction pump at various penetration depths, the penetration force of the suction pile, and the soil resistance.

Our Capabilities Include :

  • Technology transfer of suction foundation design and construction techniques from the Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) (2024)
  • Offshore Structure Suction Bucket (Wando Geumil, 2018)
