Disclosed is a pylon anchoring system in the form of an extruded strip that may be wrapped around, and affixed to, a pylon or post such that the pylon anchoring system is positioned beneath a sand line when the pylon or post is installed and set. Advantageously, when the post or pylon is installed such that the pylon anchoring strip is positioned beneath sand (or some other ground surface), a plurality of anchor elements on the system generate a counteracting force to any external force that might cause the pylon to shift from a set position.

An underpinning device for support a structure is provided. The underpinning device is anchored within the ground using a grout or cement. The underpinning device comprises a rod having a proximal rod end and a distal rod end. A first interacting element is coupled to the proximal rod end and is encased in the slab of a building. A second interacting element is coupled to the distal rod end and include a removable tip. Upon insertion into the ground, the tip dissociates from the second interacting element creating an opening at the distal rod end. A fluid, such as grout and/or cement is injected into the pipe and extruded through channels within the rod. The fluid is then allowed to cure thereby anchoring the underpinning device within the ground.

A ground mounting assembly includes one or a plurality of posts, each attached to at least one stabilizing plate or scoop pyramid. The post may be driven into the ground and then lifted to deploy plates into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground by a pile driver with plate held in place, released, and driven further and deployed into a locking mechanism, or driven into the ground and double pounded inside the post to drive reinforcing plate into slotted winglets, or driven, double pounded and rotated to extend the reinforcing plates horizontally from the pole or pile. The post also can used as a mooring in harbors, lakes, or at sea. A system based on a double pounder pile driven mono pole, optionally extendable in length, is also described.

A foundation for an offshore structure, more particularly an offshore wind turbine structure, comprising: at least one tower-like foundation structure with a circumferential foundation wall extending in the longitudinal direction, the foundation wall being delimited at the lower end by a lower-end end face, the foundation wall being formed from a mineral construction material; and at least one binding element, which is formed from a metal material and is arranged on the lower-end end face, the length of the binding element from the lower-end end face to a lower end of the binding element being at least 0.5 m.

An anchor foundation mechanism includes: a vertical cylindrical tubular body formed to be inserted into the ground and having a receiving space therein; a cover part fixed to the bottom of the body by bolts and configured to be easily inserted into the ground; a support integrally formed with the top of the body and having a plurality of through-holes and an installation fixing bolt flange so as to allow the support to be fixed to a facility post after being exposed on the ground; and an anchor assembly formed in the receiving space of the body and having anchor pins for driving the body deeply into the ground and then tightly fixing the body so as to support a load and prevent rotation, and prevent forced pulling out.

A foundation for a subsea assembly is provided. The foundation includes connection points. The connection points permit other components to be connected to the foundation and permit loads to transfer from the other components into the foundation. The foundation may be a suction anchor. A method of converting an exploration well using the foundation to a production well is also provided.
