Reference number : GC-2017-Q4-01944, amendment number : , agreement type : G, recipient legal name : Yang, Jian Ming (Memorial University of Newfoundland), recipient country : CA, recipient province : nan, recipient city : Newfoundland and Labrador|Terre-Neuve-et-Labrador, recipient postal code : nan, program name english : Engage Grants for universities, program name french : Subventions d'engagement partenarial pour les universités, program purpose english : Bay Steel is an private company mainly working in fabrication, maintenance and industrial construction for oil_x000D_
and gas, marine and utility sectors. To better serve the industries, the company is working on the development_x000D_
of an innovative anchor device. The device is supposed to use multiple steel piles which penetrate into the_x000D_
ocean floor through hydro-static force. Once it is deployed properly, the anchoring force will be provided by_x000D_
both piles and suction. Therefore it is expected to work more effectively on sandy ocean floor where traditional_x000D_
suction anchors may not be effective. In addition to being an anchor, it is also targeted being used as a_x000D_
blow-out prevention device for offshore oil and gas industry. Through working with the team at Memorial_x000D_
University, the feasibility of this device will be checked first. Then an theoretical analysis with a typical_x000D_
application will be made to obtain the capacity. A prototype will also be designed for future tests. Given the_x000D_
extreme importance of the relevant industries to Canada, the success development of an effective, economical_x000D_
anchoring device would be beneficial to the whole country., program purpose french : Bay Steel is an private company mainly working in fabrication, maintenance and industrial construction for oil_x000D_
