SubSeA Pile TemPlATe (SPT) Fixing the position of the pin piles on the seabed for driving
The Subsea Pile Template tool shall be used to fix the relative positions and verticality of the piles on the seabed to ensure that the jacket legs will fit into the pre-installed piles. It is also capable of providing a corrective moment to the pile to resolve any misalignment.The template will be deployed to the seabed and shall be used to guide and secure the pile during hammering and/or drilling operations.
