Helical Anchor and Piling System
A ground anchor with an upper helical member attached to or near the upper end of an elongated rod near one end and at least lower helical member attached to the elongated rod below and spaced apart from the upper helical member. The upper helical member includes a fixed, lateral spiral-shaped, curved flange. Near or on the outer edge of the curved flange is a continuous or intermittent vertical wall. The lower helical member includes a curved flange similar to the curved flange used on upper helical member. The upper end of the elongated rod engages a torque generating tool that rotates the anchor into the subsea floor until the helical members are embedded in the subsea floor and the upper neck is exposed. A swivel arm may be attached to the neck that attaches to a line that extends downward to a floating buoy or a floating dock. A piling may be longitudinally aligned over the neck and threaded connectors are used to securely attach the piling to the anchor.
