## Activities

Short for "International Moorings," InterMoor has provided temporary and permanent moorings to the offshore oil and gas industry since its founding.

InterMoor was among the first to utilize polyester fiber mooring ropes in an offshore mooring system with the Red Hawk Cell-Spar Mooring installed in 2003 for Kerr McGee. InterMoor recently became the first company to decommission a permanent floating structure in the US Gulf of Mexico when they removed from service the Red Hawk Cell-Spar and artificially reefed it as part of the rigs to reefs program., InterMoor is involved in the commissioning and installation phases of moorings and risers, and the abandonment and decommissioning efforts as well.

InterMoor pioneered the design of suction piles for use as a deepwater anchors in the 1990s, and has been a part of the design, fabrication, or installation of well over 75 suction piles in the global offshore oil and gas market., In addition to their suction pile work, the company has also produced driven conductors and foundation piles in smaller diameters as well.
