SUBSEA FOUNDATIONS
A subsea foundation (10) comprising an upright pile (12), a support table (16) on top of the pile (12), and a capture rod (26) fixed to the pile (12) and extending above a level of the support table (16), wherein a lower end of the capture rod (26) is fixed to a side wall of the pile (12) and the capture rod (26) is inclined away from a central longitudinal axis of the pile in an upward direction. A line (32, 46, 56) such as a pipeline or a mooring line is then connected to the subsea foundation (10) by suspending a connecting structure (30) from the line, capturing the connecting structure (30) on the capture rod (26) and pivoting the connecting structure (30) about the capture rod (26) before landing the connecting structure (30) on the support table, wherein the connecting structure (30) may be pivoted about the capture rod (26) around horizontal and/or vertical axes and may be slid down the capture rod (30) before landing on the support table (16).
