  • Publication number: 20260132585
    Abstract: A multi-use fully restrained platform system for offshore marine applications includes a monopile foundation, an interface piece mounted atop the monopile, and a deck structure coupled to the interface piece. The interface piece provides a standardized connection mechanism that enables various payload configurations to be mounted on the same foundational infrastructure, including wind turbines, oil and gas extraction equipment, hydrogen production facilities, offshore charging stations, electrical substations, offshore datacenters, and marine infrastructure such as bridges. The interface piece includes multiple receptacles configured to receive mounting columns from the deck structure, with the receptacles arranged to accommodate different deck geometries and payload requirements.

  • Patent number: 12600436
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for minimizing movement of a fixed marine structure. Using the technologies described, a wind turbine may be mounted on a fixed marine platform (e.g., a fully restrained platform (FRP)) that is secured by mooring lines that may be maintained at a tension to restrain movement of the platform due to environmental loads (e.g., wind, waves, etc.). The mooring lines may be attached to the platform with assemblies that include a stopper attached to the mooring line and engaged with a mooring porch. The stopper may be positioned and/or repositioned to adjust the tension on the connected mooring line and secured in the adjusted position using the various systems and techniques described herein.

  • Publication number: 20250010957
    Abstract: Techniques are disclosed herein for minimizing movement of an offshore wind turbine. Using the technologies described, a wind turbine may be mounted on a marine platform that is constructed and deployed to reduce environmental loads (e.g., wind, waves, . . . ) on the platform in both shallow and deep water. In some configurations, a fully restrained platform (FRP) is configured to support a wind turbine. According to some examples, moorings are attached to the FRP and/or the structure of the wind turbine structure to reduce movement in six degrees of freedom.
