ABSTRACT:
A universal footing and jetting system for marine platforms and structures comprises a spud-can forming an enlarged footing base to distribute loadings over a large soil area and thus increase bearing load capacity while reducing required pile penetration depth, a conical spike means for supporting the structural weight on and indenting into coral or rock type seafloors, and an internal jetting system to fluidize the soil around the footing for ease in penetration of the footing into the seafloor and the removal of the footing therefrom.
