ABSTRACT:
A method for setting piles at an offshore location is disclosed in the preferred and illustrated embodiment. A preferred apparatus is also disclosed. A pile formed of individual segments is placed inside a jacket at a location offshore. The first pile segment is supported by releasable hangers inside the jacket, and the two are floated together as a unit to the location. The jacket is aligned with the desired point on the bottom at a desired angle to enable pile driving to commence through the jacket. As the pile is driven into the bottom, additional sections of the pile are added to thereby increase its length. This enables the pile to be completed to any length and angle required for its construction.
