A suction anchor and method of installing the suction anchor. The suction anchor including a suction chamber bounded by: a circumferential outer wall; an upper wall; and an internal housing wall. The internal housing defining a passage for receiving wellhead components that may be secured to the suction anchor. The suction chamber has a minor upper portion and a major lower portion. The minor upper portion having internal reinforcing members extending along the inside of the upper wall from the outer walls to the internal housing. The major portion is adapted to be embedded in a seabed and the minor portion is adapted to project from the seabed when the anchor is installed. The reinforcing members serve to reinforce the upper wall of the chamber against collapse and to rigidly support the internal housing to resist forces arising from bending moments applied to wellhead components received and secured therein.
