A subsea foundation installation system i.e. jackets for tidal turbines. The system comprises a buoyant platform 1 and a plurality of hollow preferably metal supports 3. The hollow supports are spaced in a predetermined spacing about the platform and are adapted to raise the platform above the water level and to function as conductor tubes for receiving and transferring drilling equipment 7 and piles 8 to the seabed. The platform preferably comprises a modular construction with at least some modules having through passages which match the spacing of the pile guides in a subsea footprint. The platform may comprise a slot 4 allowing the subsea structure 5 to extend above the platform. A later embodiment relates to a method of installing said subsea foundations. |
