An apparatus for supporting equipment units in a body of water (1) is provided. A plurality of main beams (9) are connected by interconnecting elements (10). The main beams are arranged in separate elevations in the water, and the lowermost main beam is connected by lower connecting elements (11) to a foundation (4) on the bottom. Each main beam (9) is connected to at least one anchor (8) on the bottom, wherein each main beam comprises a buoyant element and thus exhibits a net buoyancy when installed in the water. The method of installing the apparatus comprises a sequential installation of the main beams (9) and the associated interconnecting elements (10) and adjusting the buoyancy in the footing beam and in the main beams to ensure that the foundation rests on the bottom beneath the body of water and the lower mooring lines (12a,b) and mooring lines (5a,b, 6a,b, 7a,b) are taut. |
