Suction Anchors for Securing Structures to an Underwater Floor
In a general aspect, suction anchors are disclosed that include a tubular body formed at least in part of cementitious materials. The tubular body has a closed end, an open end, and a perimeter wall. The perimeter wall defines a shape of the tubular body and is former at least in part of the cementitious materials. The tubular body also includes a channel internal to the perimeter wall defining a spiral around a longitudinal axis of the tubular body. The tubular body additionally includes an edge defining an opening for the open end. The edge is configured to penetrate the underwater floor. The suction anchors also include a post-tensioning device through the channel in a tensioned state and a port configured to fluidly-couple at least part of a cavity within the tubular body to an exterior of the tubular body.
