Underwater concrete foundations can be installed with or without anchoring. The key factor for the choice of foundation is the hydrostatic pressure. In the case of foundations with anchoring, we deploy injection piles, vibratory piles and pre-stressed ground anchors. Lifting chocks are also often installed in the walls of the sheeting.
