Anchors

AC 14

This is the only drag embedment anchor capable of accepting directional changes of loading from all headings. After installation, the Bruce Omni-Directional Dennla can embed in the rearward direction as well as the forward direction by veering into alignment with the direction of loading.

• Removable Shank Stopper to limit movement
• Not subject to Vertical Load Anchor (VLA) pullout failure
• Drag Embedment Safety factor applicable (i.e. 1.5x rather than 2.0x for a VLA)
• Holding capacity is limited only by mooring line strength
• Rigid shank gives single load path for determinable fatigue life
• Design enables recovery at low load by installation anchor line

Application: Mobile & Permanent moorings

Seabeds: Sands, clays, muds

Mooring: Catenary, Semi-taut leg & taut leg

Advantage: Ultra deep water anchor that accepts directional load changing

The Bruce GP has a further increased fluke area from that of the Bruce PM, and the shank straightened to enable mass to be redistributed to the fluke for higher holding capacity and a lower rearwards recovery load.

• Greater holding capacity from increased fluke area
• Choice of four fluke angles to suit most soil conditions
• Snag free negotiation of stern rollers
• Easy deck handling
• Easy breakout using chaser or rear recovery lug
• Significant reduction in cost per tonne of holding capacity
• Can be varied to suit required shackle sizes,
  dimensions marked *

Application: Mobile & Permanent moorings

Seabeds: Sands, clays, muds

Mooring: Catenary & Semi-taut leg

Advantage: Highest holding capacity of any anchor available on the market today (size for size)

With increased holding capacity and the cranked shank design, the Bruce PM is the perfect anchor for permanent mooring requirements and hard bottom conditions.

• Superior holding performance in all sea beds
• Placement anchor for all permanent mooring applications
• Choice of fluke angles for optimum performance in hard and soft bottoms
• Simplified fluke angle adjustment by moving two plain pins, no welding required
• Design can be tailored to suit customer requirements
• Single point recovery lug on fluke minimises breakout resistance
• Can be varied to suit required shackle sizes,
  dimensions marked *
• Disassembly into two parts for easier, lower cost shipping

Application: Mobile & Permanent moorings

Seabeds: Sand, Clays, muds

Mooring: Catenary & Semi-taut leg

Advantage: Cranked shank reduces seabed penetration resistance

Developed in 1986, the Bruce FFTS Mk4 anchor is still one of the only drag embedment anchors available on the market that completely satisfies the HHP anchor rules regarding self righting as set out by DNV GL.

• Complete self-righting ability
• Superior holding performance in all sea beds
• Choice of fluke angles for optimum performance in hard & soft bottoms
• Approved by ABS , DNV GL, LR and BV as a HHP anchor
• Disassembly into two parts for easier and lower shipping costs
• Cranked shank design reduces anchor penetration resistance

Application: Mobile & Permanent moorings

Seabeds: Sands, clays, muds

Mooring: Catenary & semi-taut leg

Advantage: Self-righting

The Bruce Razor

Application: Mobile & Permanent moorings

Seabeds: Hard bottom conditions

Mooring: Catenary & Semi-taut leg

Advantage: Unique fluke design and structurally strengthened for embedment in hard seabeds

Lightweight (LWT) Anchor

InterMoor’s SEPLA system uses a suction follower (similar to a suction anchor) to embed a plate anchor deeply in the soil. The suction follower is retracted once the plate anchor is brought to design soil depth and can be used again and again to install additional plate anchors.

SEPLA anchors are more efficient geotechnically than the suction anchors used most often to offset significant vertical loads. Whereas a large part of a suction pile’s structure is unused after installation, the SEPLA plate anchor is fully embedded in deeper, higher strength soil layers, with all components actively resisting the mooring loads.

Because they utilise a suction follower, SEPLA anchors are classified as direct embedment anchors. This means the precise location and depth of the anchor is known (whereas location and depth of drag-embedded anchors can only be estimated). In congested fields, where a clear area to drag in an anchor may not exist, SEPLA is the ideal solution.

SEPLA anchors are used for both temporary and permanent moorings (i.e. drilling rigs and production facilities).

• Precise anchor location (both in plan and depth)
• Simple plate construction
• More efficient than suction piles
• SEPLA fabrication extremely cost efficient
