A compliant concrete structure which is supported by using a compliant pile system consisting of piles and pile sleeves so that the platform may yield to large oscillations when the structure is installed in a body of water. The invention comprises attaching the pile sleeve guides (6) and the pile sleeves (3) to a rotation symmetrical concrete shell which forms the basic structure. The pile sleeves are rigidly connected to the lower end portion (2) of the structure.
