Anchoring system
The present invention relates to an anchoring system 1 comprising an anchor pile configured to be embedded in a first lower portion of a borehole. The anchor pile comprises a first elongate body having an upper end and a lower end. The anchoring system further comprises a lateral load transition member 5 configured in use to be spaced apart from the upper end of the first elongate body of the anchor pile and embedded in a second upper portion of the borehole. The lateral load transition member comprises a second elongate body having an upper end configured in use to be in communication with a laterally loaded mooring tether, and an opposed lower end. The anchoring system further comprises an intermediate portion connecting the lower end of the second elongate body of the lateral load transition member to the upper end of the first elongate body of the anchor pile. The second elongate body of the lateral load transition member comprises side portions, extending between the upper and lower ends thereof, configured in use to abut surrounding wall portions of the second upper portion of the borehole to create hoop stress within the second upper portion of the borehole wall without penetration thereof.
