ABSTRACT:
A tower structure having a central column, three support legs and a base structure which can be anchored to the sea bed by means of piles. The legs and base structure are constructed as an integral preformed base unit with a sleeve attached to the upper ends of the legs.
The column is slidingly engaged within the sleeve of the base unit. A rigid connection is made between the column and the sleeve. In the erected structure, the primary load of the column is transmitted through the column and sleeve connection via the base unit to the sea bed.
