Abstract: An underwater anchoring assembly and method for supporting a pipe with the underwater anchoring assembly are disclosed. The underwater anchoring assembly includes a first pile, a second pile, a first cross-member coupled with the first and second piles, and a second cross-member rotatably coupled with the first pile at a first end portion thereof, and detachably coupled with the second pile at a second end portion thereof. The method includes advancing the underwater anchoring assembly into the ground in an unactuated state, positioning the first cross-member above the pipe, rotating the second cross-member about the first pile such that the pipe is interposed between the first and second cross-members, and coupling the second end portion of the second cross-member with the second pile via a fastening mechanism to thereby support the pipe.
Abstract: A pad site and a method for supporting a rig structure, of which the method includes positioning a plurality of piles in a ground of a core operating section of a pad site, and laying a plurality of mats over the pad site. A first portion of the plurality of mats are at least partially supported by the plurality of piles, and a second portion of the plurality of mats are not supported by the plurality of piles. The first portion of the plurality of mats are configured to support a rig structure.
