Disclosed embodiments include a suction pile vent plug having a cylindrically-shaped body having a sealing element, a plurality of coupling features, and a handle connected to the cylindrically-shaped body. The sealing element is configured to form a watertight seal with walls of a suction pile vent into which the vent plug is installed. The plurality of coupling features are configured to engage with corresponding coupling features of the suction pile vent. The movable handle is configured to be moved into one or more locked configurations. Disclosed embodiments further include a suction pile vent having a hollow cylindrically-shaped body having coupling features. The coupling features are configured to engage with corresponding coupling features of a suction pile vent plug to thereby mechanically couple the suction pile vent plug to the suction pile vent. Disclosed embodiments further include a fluidic port that fluidically couples a suction pile to a removable fluidic coupling.

A pile connection comprises at least one fixture having a collar portion, a plurality of micropile sleeves, a plurality of gusset members extending between the collar portion and the micropile sleeves, and at least one connecting member that couples adjacent gusset members and that is spaced apart from the collar portion. A recess bounded by a wall of the collar portion is configured to contact a portion of a vertical pile. One or more fasteners may be used to press the wall against the vertical pile, with certain embodiments employing two complementary fixtures that may be coupled to one another (e.g., using the fasteners) along opposing sides of the vertical pile. Each micropile sleeve is configured to receive a micropile that may be driven through the sleeve into the ground at a position spaced apart from the vertical pile.

A pile guide has a collar with a void therein. A planar flange extends from a side of the collar. A first guide and a second guide form opposing guides constructed and arranged for receiving the planar flange of the pile guide therein. The planar flange is in a slidable relationship within the opposing guides, and the bracket is constructed and arranged for mounting to a dock. The opposing guides pivot relative to the dock during installation and allow pivoting of the pile guide relative to the dock or other mounting. The distance and angle of the collar relative to the dock or other mounting can be adjusted to accommodate for positioning of pile guides due to positioning of piles relative to a dock or other structure.

Disclosed is a pile connection for horizontally fixing an elongated beam for a foundation support system. In particular, disclosed is a pile connection including at least one pile sleeve and at least one coupling attaching the at least one pile sleeve to an elongated beam such that a pile within the at least one pile sleeve extends between a top and bottom of the beam. Such a configuration provides a cost-effective, modular, and scalable system that is easily installed and adaptable to a variety of different terrains.

A micropile connection for supporting a vertical pile for a support system is disclosed herein. The micropile connection includes a base and two micropile sleeves attached thereto. The two micropile sleeves are configured to direct micropiles from opposing sides of the base across the base, such that the two micropiles cross through a vertical plane intersecting the base and between lateral edges of the base.

An apparatus for ending a tubular pile foundation includes a substantially plate-shaped pressure distribution plate which comprises a substantially flat plate surface and a contact surface opposite the plate surface for a structure to be erected on the tubular pile foundation. The pressure distribution plate can be fitted with the plate surface onto a pile end of a tubular pile of the tubular pile foundation. At least one centering collar for centering the apparatus on the pile end is arranged on the plate surface, and at least one support structure for reinforcing the pressure distribution plate is arranged on the contact surface.
