Abstract: Method for installation of a wind turbine generator on a tension leg platform/spar (WTG foundation) using gravity anchors or suction anchors. A concrete WTG foundation is built with the ‘slip form’ method, a combination construction/deployment barge (barge) allows the WTG and WTG foundation to be delivered to the installation site as a complete unit and a split hull hydraulic dump scow facilitates the slip form construction and deployment of the gravity anchors. The barge is sunk as a dry dock to a draft that permits the WTG/WTG foundation to be floated off. The free floating WTG foundation is ballasted with sea water to its operating draft with 5 feet of freeboard. The tension legs from the gravity anchors are attached to the WTG foundation and snugged with equal tension. The sea water is then removed from the WTG foundation. This process tightens the tension legs to their design loads. The WTG/WTG foundation maintains a relatively large water plane and a 5 foot freeboard.

Abstract: A portable, multi-level knock-down frame structure for supporting a plurality of objects of varying shapes, sizes and weights in individual compartments. The materials for the structure may be selected to accommodate boats and store the same adjacent a body of water in a rust-inhibiting environment. The framework is made up of a plurality of interconnected members forming a box-like framework with vertical rows of spaced compartments. These members may be adjusted to vary the overall height of each compartment and may include means in each compartment for supporting the object to be stored, such as a boat, off of the structural members forming the framework structure and may also be adjustable with respect to the framework for accommodating objects, such as boats, of varying shapes and sizes.
