  • the guide unit 111 is formed to vertically pass through the center of the self-weight control tank unit 110. Since the guide unit 111 is formed to pass through the center of the self-weight control tank unit 110, the monopod unit 120 is movably installed in the center of the self-weight control tank unit 110. Therefore, the monopod unit 120 may be stably supported by the self-weight control tank unit 110.
  • the marine foundation further includes an opening and closing valve 117 installed in the self-weight control tank unit 110 to supply seawater to the self-weight control tank unit 110 or block the seawater from being supplied to the self-weight control tank unit 110.

  • the guide bucket unit 130 is formed in a cylindrical shape with the open lower side.
  • the inside of the guide bucket unit 130 communicates with the inside of the monopod unit 120.
  • the pumping hoses approach the guide bucket unit 130 through the monopod unit 120, and thus seabed sediment in the guide bucket unit 130 is discharged to the outside through the pumping hoses.

  • the thrust device 150 is operated to compensate for the installation position of the self-weight control tank unit 110 (S15). That is, when self-weight control tank unit 110 is lowered, the thrust device 150 applies a thrust to the self-weight control tank unit 110 to prevent the self-weight control tank unit 110 from being swept by a tide or wave. For example, when the self-weight control tank unit 110 is swept to the left, the thrust device 150 applies a thrust to the left of the self-weight control tank unit 110 to prevent movement of the self-weight control tank unit 110.
