A method of lowering a floating body of a floating foundation and carrying
a structure projecting above the water surface to an end position located
beneath the water level, includes threading, through each of the upwardly
projecting tubes, which are secured to the floating body
above-through-openings formed in the floating body, a cable or a rod and
connecting the cable or rod to a set-in-ground anchor, lowering the
floating body, with the uptake devices provided at the free ends of the
tubes, to the end position of the floating body beneath the water surface
against buoyancy of the floating body, and fixidly securing the cables or
rods, in the end position of the floating body, to the floating body and
cutting off sections of the cables and rods above fixation points of the
cables and rods with the floating body and removing the tubes.
