Suction caisson

Suction caissons (also referred to as suction anchors, suction piles or suction buckets) are a new form of offshore foundation that have a number of advantages over conventional offshore foundations, mainly being quicker to install than piles and being easier to remove during decommissioning. Suction caissons are now used extensively worldwide for anchoring large offshore installations to the seafloor at great depths.
