Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2011023907A1] The invention relates to a supporting foundation (20) including a base (50), a marine current turbine carrier (54) supported by the base (50), and at least three legs (52) for bearing on the floor of the body of water (14), connected together by means of the base (50). Each bearing leg (52) comprises a hollow casing (70), and a rigid member (72) for adjusting the vertical position of the hollow casing (70) relative to the floor (12) of the body of water. The rigid adjustment member (72) is immobilized so as to vertically project under the casing (70). Each bearing leg (52) further includes a member (74) for engaging with the floor of the body of water (14) and rigidly connected to the lower end of the rigid adjustment member (72).
