Date Sep. 22, 1988.A mooring/support system for anchoring marine structure comprises a plurality of anchor elements equiangularly spaced and connected to the sea bed at one end by means of anchors. The other ends of the anchor elements are connected to a common bridle element. Eight anchor elements may be used giving the system a octagonal configuration. Each anchor element comprises a buoyant portion and a non-buoyant portion, the buoyant portion being such that a mooring point positioned below the surface of the water to provide an essentially horizontal restraint to the moored or supported object and to allow ships to pass over the system without contact therewith. The system is such that it can be pre-installed before arrival of the marine structure. The buoyancy of the chambers may be varied so as to regulate the preload of the system. |
