A modular structure for being at least partly submerged in a body of water, is disclosed. The modular structure comprises structure elements and strengthening elements providing structural integrity and flexibility, and can typically be a closed structure like e.g. a tank structure. Further, macro structures comprising attached modular structures are presented. Finally, methods for construction of such structures are disclosed. L'invention concerne une structure modulaire destinée à être au moins partiellement immergée dans une masse d'eau. La structure modulaire comprend des éléments de structure et des éléments de renfort assurant une intégrité structurelle et une flexibilité, et peut typiquement être une structure fermée comme, par exemple, une structure de réservoir. L'invention concerne en outre des macrostructures comprenant des structures modulaires fixées. L'invention concerne enfin des procédés de construction de telles structures.
