A method of and apparatus for installing an elongate upstanding structure in a seabed (SB), including the steps of providing a hollow guide assembly (1) capable of accommodating the structure (5) to be installed in the seabed (SB) and using the hollow guide assembly (1) to position and set the structure (5)in said seabed at said position and at said orientation, positioning the hollow guide assembly on the seabed at the position it is required to install the structure (5) upstanding in the seabed, setting the orientation of the guide assembly (1) at the orientation required for the structure when upstanding, downwardly displacing the structure (5) relative to the guide assembly to cause the structure to become self supporting at said position and at said orientation. |
