Project Overview
The proposed project, entitled Helical Anchor Performance Analysis, is a study of helical anchor installation processes and strength testing under a variety of bottom type and loading conditions. Helical anchors are a high-performance, low-cost, and environmentally-friendly means of anchoring aquaculture installations in challenging environments, and in order to further inform their use for applications within the Alaskan mariculture industry this project will assess the performance of helical anchors in applications relevant to aquaculture installations. It is the goal and intent of this project to increase understanding of helical anchor performance, gain experience and knowledge in helical anchor installation, and explore the efficacy of helical anchors for use within the Alaska Mariculture Alliance.
