Abstract: Bistable valve and use thereof in the controlled submergence of a foundation structure A bistable valve 10 comprises a bistable disc 16 movable between a first position in which a first side 22 of the bistable disc 16 has a concave shape and a second position in which the first side 22 of the bistable disc 16 has a convex shape. The bistable disc 16 includes a peripheral sealing region 32 on the first side 22 which cooperates with a static part 18 when the bistable disc 16 is in the first position to create a seal between the bistable disc 16 and the static part 18. A method for controlling the submergence of a foundation structure including a buoyancy tank comprising first and second bistable valves is also described.

Abstract: A foundation structure (10) for locating an object (14) mounted on the foundation structure (10) on a sea bed or a river bed comprises an integral buoyancy device (22) having variable buoyancy and a rigid control surface (23). The integral buoyancy device (22) is movable relative to the foundation structure (10) to vary the position of the rigid control surface (23) and to control the position of the centre of buoyancy relative to the position of the centre of gravity. This stabilises the foundation structure 10 during submergence and surfacing. A method for controlling the deployment and retrieval of the foundation structure (10) is also described.

Abstract: A wet-mateable electrical connector comprises a vertically movable female connector unit 52 locatable over a vertically fixed male connector unit 50. The female connector unit 52 defines a chamber 62 containing a gas to exclude water and the like therefrom and having a closed upper end and an open lower end for receiving an upper end of the male connector unit 50. An insulating sheath 6 is locatable within the upper end of the female connector unit 52 to move it from a first position that protects a first electrical contactor 4 provided on the upper end of the male connector unit 50 to a second position that exposes the first electrical contactor 4. The upper end of the female connector unit 52 houses a second electrical contactor 3 which is engageable with the first electrical contactor 4 upon movement of the insulating sheath 6 from the first position to the second position.
