The Deep Penetrating Anchor (DPA™) is a dynamically installed anchor, released freely from a predetermined height over the seabed that uses gravity as the installation force. The DPA™ has several advantages over conventional solutions e.g. quick installation, low prodution costs per weight and do not require proof loading. The anchors penetrate well below mudline into stiffer clay sediments thus allowing for taut leg mooring. These factors translate into a cost effective alternative insensitive to water depth.
