Anchoring systems - Knoop B.V.

The anchoring systems can be used in a variety of waters, such as sand mining sites, lakes, lagoons and delta areas, to safely operate all floating structures.

What we offer:

A tailor-made anchoring plan
A strong and reliable anchoring system that will last for years
Possibility of permanent or temporary anchoring
An experienced and skilled team you can rely on
Fast, safe and highly cost-effective execution

We understand how important it is to be able to rely on an anchoring system. Every situation is different. By using our experience, circumstances can be properly taken into account. By applying innovative techniques, we can install anchors up to a depth of 120 metres without using divers.

During project preparation, we can determine which anchors and lines are suitable based on a delivered force calculation. The line consists of segments and can contain flexible line, Dyneema or a combination of both. The lines are robust and durable, allowing them to withstand extreme weather conditions. We also draw up the execution and safety plan prior to the project. This sets out the phasing and location-specific risks.

For anchors, the type of anchor used depends on the situation. The types we place are clap anchors, H-beams, concrete blocks, tubes and tubular piles*. Using a 3D GPS, the anchors are placed with high accuracy.

*With fluctuating water levels

Our working method:

Tailor-made plan
Force calculation for anchors and lines
Draw up execution and safety plan
Using GPS, accurately position anchors
Conducting tensile tests to ensure anchor holding power
Marking anchors with buoys
Database with GPS coordinates and tensile test measurement of anchors placed (often required by insurer and/or finance)
