Spacing for 36" dia. hollow steel pile

Gents:

 

I am using 36” diameter hollow steel piles for my off-shore application; my pile cap requires

A total of 18 piles (i.e. 6 each row) going with the rule of thumb 3 x pile diameter, I ended up 9’ center

which will give me  a wider width.

 

Is there a code that specifies the min. spacing of piles?

 

Thanks,
