ABSTRACT:
A cap for covering an open upper end of a subsea structure includes a base and a body. The base has a size, after shrinkage, at least slightly larger than the exterior of the open upper end of the subsea structure. The body is connected to the base and projects downward from the base. The body has an open bottom. The cap is positioned over the open upper end of the subsea structure with the base of the cap resting on the open upper end of the subsea structure and the body of the cap forms a wall around the exterior of the open upper end of the subsea structure for inhibiting the cap from slipping off the open upper end of the subsea structure.
