<p>A foundation structure which is self supporting and can be installed on the seabed without the need for support cranes or vessels is generally depicted at 1, and comprises an elongate body 3 which is adapted to hold a wind turbine tower 18, nacelle 19 and one or more rotor blades 4. The installation structure can be manoeuvred to its offshore position using a vessel 2 and buoyancy means 7. Once in position, the structure is lowered to the seabed and a pumping mechanism 12 is used to sink the structure into the seabed. The structure can then be anchored using support braces 6.</p> |
