<p>An anchoring structure (4) applied as a layer to at least partly cover apparatus (5), e.g. a pipeline, to be anchored in a body of water comprising compressible means substantially impermeable to water which is compressed when the anchoring structure (4) is submerged to at least a predetermined depth. The compressible means (24) may contact the water directly or may be received within internal volumes of a substantially incompressible, relatively heavy material which is permeable to water.</p> |
