ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for installation of heavy, ballastable, gravity fundament structures on the sea bottom at large depths. In accordance with the invention, there is utilized air, water, and a liquid lighter than water in various proportions and combinations to provide the structure with the required buoyancy and submerged weight during the sequential phases of the transport and descent operations in order to finally position the structure in a selected location on the sea bottom. Various modes can be used to accomplish the descent and the structure may in a final stage be penetrated down into the sea bottom to a sufficient degree.
