Welcome to Greenstick
Greenstick technology offers a brand new solution for a wide range of
applications that require mooring in water.
The Greenstick is a helical pile or suction pile with a patented* lockable
and unlockable joint, allowing vertical deployment at sea, in depth, and
the ability to configure to a support angle of 45 degrees +/-, as
required, once the Greenstick has been secured to the sea or ocean
floor.
No other deployment system offers this capability, making Greenstick
technology unique.
The Greenstick is versatile; it can be used as a simple mooring device,
as a less invasive way of securing and supporting offshore structures
such as wind or wave turbines or to ease dredging processes by the
incorporation of a Greenstick Wall. The lightweight nature of the
Greenstick and walls, coupled with the ease of deployment and
removal, make it ideal for use in disaster zones where speedy solutions
are required to provide temporary power or to reclaim land in difficult
and unexpected circumstances.
•
Greensticks have the possibility to make the strongest offshore
structures ever seen, in normal ocean/sea floor conditions.
•
Greenstick piles and support arms can be made to have neutral
buoyancy in water, making heavy lifting at sea much safer, and
with much smaller support vessels. Greenstick piles could be
floated in multiples and towed to the site location, so heavy lift
vessels are not required.
•
Greenstick piles may be used in conjunction with other existing
technologies (for instance suction piles) but with much reduced
weight and support services.
•
Greenstick piles have the potential to save money and offer a
safe, less invasive and, since they are not driven, a quieter
installation. Greensticks are environmentally friendly and their
ability to be removed render them unique offshore.
