ADVACT, a leading engineering company specializing in the design, fabrication, and installation of offshore structures, has been at the forefront of suction pile technology for over 20 years. Originally developed for the U.S. Navy, this technology has been successfully applied in various offshore projects, including natural gas extraction and offshore wind farms.

ADVACT’s CEO, Tae Hwan Lee, highlighted the company’s expertise in suction piles and anchors, emphasizing their role in reducing costs and construction time while enhancing environmental sustainability. Notably, ADVACT collaborated with the Korea Electric Power Corporation (KEPCO) to develop the Suction Bucket Tripod foundation for offshore wind turbines, demonstrating high stability and cost efficiency.

The company has also achieved significant milestones, such as the installation of a suction bucket foundation for a 3MW offshore wind turbine off the coast of Gunsan, which won the Outstanding Project Award by the Deep Foundations Institute in 2017.
