CAN- and suction anchors

CAN- and suction anchors remain one of the most reliable and efficient foundation solutions for offshore construction and developments. From floating wind to well construction and mooring systems, they offer high holding capacity, predictable installation behaviour, and reduced seabed disturbance.

With access to multi purpose vessels (MPVs) and experienced marine teams, we are well-equipped to deliver full scope suction anchor installation support — from engineering and planning to offshore execution and close-out.

Offshore projects face increasing pressure to deliver cost‑efficient, predictable, and low‑impact foundation installation.

Our CAN- and suction anchor solutions

AGR delivers a turnkey suction anchor support service, integrating engineering, marine operations, and ROV capabilities through a single project team. Our approach includes:

Engineering & Planning

• Pre‑installation engineering, anchor sizing and soil interaction assessments
• Installation procedures, HSE planning, risk assessments and operational simulations
• Integrated vessel and equipment selection tailored to seabed and load requirements

Offshore Execution

• Deployment and installation using MPVs equipped with AHC cranes and work‑class ROVs
• Real-time monitoring of penetration, tilt, suction pressure, and final holding verification
• Anchor handling, chain installation, and mooring connection support

Operational Assurance

• Full QA/QC reporting with traceable installation data
• Verification of final installation performance and compliance with client criteria
