ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus is presented for anchoring a tension leg platform to the ocean floor using an anchor having an upper and lower assembly. The anchor's upper assembly is operatively connected to the lower ends of the tethers forming the tension legs of the tension leg platform, and acts to space and align each tether in a vertical manner when the anchor's upper assembly is connected to the anchor's lower assembly, which has previously been secured to the ocean floor by anchor piles.
