ABSTRACT:
A method of constructing a column-like marine structure including the steps of constructing and placing an assembly of floats in a dry area, placing on the float assembly a column base having its own buoyancy, flooding the area to float the assembly of floats and column and moving them to deeper water, ballasting the floats to sink them and while maintaining buoyancy of the column removing the floats, completely ballasting the column to sink it, reconnecting the floats around the top of the column, constructing a further column part on top of the column, lifting the assembly by the buoyancy of the floats and/or the buoyancy of the column and floating it to a desired location in deeper water.
