Zusammenfassung:A Torpedo Pile (100) is described for the anchoring of floating structures usedfor drilling and production wells for oil and gas, the pile (100) comprising atapering body (1) provided with fins (20) and a point (30) for embedding in theseabed, its upper end being provided with at least two plates (2) provided withflaps (3), said flaps being capable of inducing a rotation of the articulationelements (4) when a dragging force is exerted on the system. With the continuationof the dragging force, the plates (2) continue to rotate as far as a final configuration,when the points of contact (6) of stops (5) are reached. The pile (100) comprisesone embodiment for permanent anchorage and another for temporary anchorage.The method of installation/withdrawal of the two embodiments is also described. Se describe un pilote (100) tipo torpedo para el anclaje de estructuras flotantes usadas para pozos de produccion y perforacion para petroleo y gas, el pilote (100) que comprende un cuerpo (1) de ahuzamiento provisto con aletas (20) y un punto (30) para incrustar en el hecho marino, su extremo superior que se proporciona con al menos dos placas (2) provistas con alerones (3) , estos alerones que son capaces de inducir una rotacion de los elementos (4) de articulacion cuando se ejerce una fuerza de arrastre en el sistema. Con la continuacion de la fuerza de arrastre, las placas (2) continuan girando hasta una configuracion final, cuando se alcanzan los puntos de contacto (6) de los topes (5). El pilote (100) comprende una modalidad para el anclaje permanente y otra para el anclaje temporal. Tambien se describe el metodo de instalacion/retiro de las dos modalidades.
