ABSTRACT:
What is provided is a system for supporting well production conductor and/or caisson which is extending above the water the line in an offshore setting, the system which includes a plurality of support clamps having a center located clamp portion for clamping around the exterior of the conductor and/or caisson, and four arm members radiating outwardly therefrom. Each of the arm members would support a piling clamp, each clamp having an opening therethrough for positioning on the sea bed; a second clamp is positioned around the conductor and/or caisson, at the level of the water, the configuration likewise having a plurality of arm members supporting a piling clamp on each end therefrom, the clamp members are aligned at the water level with the clamp members on the floor of the sea bed; introducing a piling through each of the piling clamps at the water level, and driving the piling through to each of the clamps on the floor of the sea bed to a depth so that the plurality of pilings, spaced apart and supported by the clamps support the conductor and/or caisson in the upright position against the lateral forces of the sea.
