A pile anchor 100 is formed as an elongated hollow member 160 has longitudinally disposed external vanes 275A, 275B for securing an offshore structure to the seafloor. The external vanes 275A, 275B help maintain the heading and bearing of the anchor 100 during the installation process, and may also enhance the pile anchor's holding capacity. A first longitudinally disposed vane 275A and a second longitudinally disposed vane 275B are attached to the elongated hollow member 160 at an angle relative to a plane tangent to the elongated hollow member 160 and are located in two separate planes that form an angle at the point of attachment. |
