The improved J-tube system has been developed for offshore wind turbine foundations, particularly monopile type foundations. The improved J-tube system is a newly Patented system that is available for use on all future projects. The improved J-tube system has been specially developed to allow monopile foundations to be constructed in the most economical way possible. The improved Jtube system utilises external J-tubes and does not require any attachments to the monopile or J-tube holes through the monopile. Furthermore, the improved J-tube system is also quick and simple to install. The improved J-tube system comprises a sliding J-tube assembly and an embedment into the seabed. The J-tube can be installed to any level required and then remotely secured into position. The improved J-tube system does not rely on the use of divers and does not require the use of bespoke or additional heavy equipment or vessels.
