time provide the stability of the overall structure. We would like to consider one of the concrete cylinders (see Figure 1) as part of the base of a gravity platform. The base structure is built to such a height that when the dock is Flooded the base has sufficient freeboard to float on its buoyancy. The base is then towed out into the deep water site and the tanks are flooded, causing the base to sink to the seabed. 77
