Introduction
- ADVACT is the only company in Korea that has the suction caissons/buckets installation records. ADVACT can install suction caissons/buckets and suction anchors in a shortest possible time period.
Advantages of Suction Technology
- Suitable application in deep water locations
- Economical and environmentally friendly (no noise and no vibration)
- Use of very large diameter caissons/buckets to provide extremely large loading capacities
- Retrievability (removal and re-use)
- No need for ground improvement
- Extremely fast installation operation
Principles of Suction Technology
Unlike conventional driven or bored piles, suction caissons/buckets become more effective as the diameter gets larger and as the water depth gets greater.
