A subsea turbine 8 support structure 1 comprises a plurality of support legs 5 joined to one another by a lattice 17; and a platform 3 mounted to the support legs e.g. above the surface of the water 4. A lifting mechanism e.g. winch 10 can be coupled to a turbine base 9 or the turbine 8 to lift the turbine which slides along a turbine base mounting e.g. slide rails 12a, 12b. The slide rails 12a, 12b may be fitted to the support legs or to the lattice framework and the turbine may be lowered or raised on the slide rails by the winch 10. |
