Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors, suction piles or suction buckets) are a form of fixed platform anchor in the form of an open bottomed tube embedded in the sediment and sealed at the top while in use so that lifting forces generate a pressure differential that holds the caisson down. They have a number of advantages over conventional offshore foundations, mainly being quicker to install than deep foundation piles and being easier to remove during decommissioning. Suction caissons are now used extensively worldwide for anchoring large offshore installations, like oil platforms, offshore drillings and accommodation platforms to the seafloor at great depths. In recent years, suction caissons have also seen usage for offshore wind turbines in shallower waters.

dbo:abstract
  • Ein Bucket-Fundament (engl. für Eimer) ist eine Gründungsart für Offshore-Konstruktionen auf Sedimentböden (Sand und Ton). Es besteht aus einem nach unten geöffneten Stahlzylinder, der auf den Meeresboden gesetzt und ausgepumpt wird. Die auflastende Wassersäule presst das Fundament in den Meeresboden. Dafür sind Wassertiefen ab 20 Meter ausreichend. Bucket-Fundamente sind leise und schnell zu installieren und lassen sich mittels Überdruck auch wieder entfernen. Buckets sind viel kürzer als Pfähle und größer im Durchmesser, damit das Einpressen gelingt. Daher sind sie ungeeignet für Standorte mit mobilem Sand. Unterschieden werden Mono- und Multi-Bucket-Fundamente sowie Bucket-Verankerungen. (de)

In recent years, suction caissons have also seen usage for offshore wind turbines in shallower waters. Oil and gas recovery at great depth could have been a very difficult task without the suction anchor technology, which was developed and used for the first time in the North Sea 30 years ago.The use of suction caissons/anchors has now become common practice worldwide. Statistics from 2002 revealed that 485 suction caissons had been installed in more than 50 different localities around the world, in depths to about 2000 m. Suction caissons have been installed in most of the deep water oil producing areas around the world: The North Sea, Gulf of Mexico, offshore West Africa, offshore Brazil, West of Shetland, South China Sea, Adriatic Sea and Timor Sea. No reliable statistics have been produced after 2002, but the use of suction caissons is still rising. (en)
