The invention relates to a manifold structure that includes a frame construction (1), a number of pipes (2), a pipe bend and possible valves, deployed in a pipe system having a number of pipe terminations projecting from the frame construction. The frame construction (1) is designed with a number of support brackets (5) for respective coupling parts associated with said pipe terminations. Each support bracket (5) is made as a separate, standardized unit that includes several securing means for releasable assembly to the frame construction, where each securing means is arranged for defined adjustability in height and lateral direction for adaption to a preinstalled pipe termination.

1. A method to manufacture a manifold structure, comprising: installing piping in place within a frame construction, the piping comprising a pipe termination having a connector flange positioned laterally exterior of the frame construction and directed upward;placing a support bracket comprising a horizontal support structure having a central aperture and extending substantially horizontally from a vertical back structure over the pipe termination such that the pipe termination is received through the central aperture and positioned above the plane of the horizontal support structure and coarse adjusting the support bracket relative to the pipe termination;installing a connector porch with a bottom plate resting atop the horizontal support structure and over the connector flange;bolting the connector porch to the connector flange; andwelding the connector porch to the support bracket and subsequently fine adjusting and fixing the support bracket to the frame construction. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the coarse adjusting and the fine adjusting comprises operating securing means between a bottom part of the frame the vertical back structure and operating securing means between a top part of the frame and the vertical back structure. 3. The method of claim 1, comprising landing a vertical connector module on the connector porch, the vertical connector module having a pipe bend and connector flange to connect a pipeline. 4. The method of claim 3, wherein the landing the vertical connector module comprises engaging a guiding means of the vertical connector module in a guiding structure located on the vertical back structure and extending upward from the horizontal support structure. 5. A manifold structure, comprising: a frame having a plurality of pipes each extending laterally outward from the frame to a pipe termination positioned oriented upward;a support bracket for each of the pipe terminations, each support bracket releasably installed with the frame, the support bracket comprising a vertical back structure releasably connected by securing means to the frame and a horizontal support structure having a central aperture and extending substantially horizontally from the back structure, whereby the pipe extends upward through the central aperture and the pipe termination is positioned above the horizontal support structure and laterally external to the frame; anda guide structure extending along the vertical back structure upward from the horizontal support structure, the guide structure operative with a vertical connector module to land the vertical connector module from above onto the pipe termination. 6. The manifold structure of claim 5, wherein the support bracket is releasably attached to the frame at a lower mount between a bottom part of the frame and the vertical back structure and at an upper mount between a top part of the frame and the vertical back structure. 7. The manifold structure of claim 5, wherein the support bracket is releaseably attached to the frame at a lower mount between a bottom part of the frame and the vertical back structure by the securing means permitting adjustment in positioning the support bracket in the lateral direction relative to the frame and the support bracket is releasably attached to the frame at an upper mount between a top part of the frame and the vertical back structure by the securing means permitting adjustment in positioning the support bracket vertically relative to the frame. 8. The manifold structure of claim 5, wherein the support bracket is a separate unit to be connected by the securing means to the frame after the frame has been located at a seabed. 9. The manifold structure of claim 5, comprising a connector porch landed on each of the horizontal support structures and connected to the associated pipe termination. 10. The manifold structure of claim 5, comprising a connector porch landed on each of the horizontal support structures and connected to the associated pipe termination, wherein the connector porch comprises a bottom plate resting atop the horizontal support structure. 11. A manifold structure, comprising: a frame having a plurality of pipes each extending laterally outward from the frame to a pipe termination positioned oriented upward;a support bracket for each of the pipe terminations, each support bracket releasably installed with the frame, the support bracket comprising a vertical back structure releasably connected by securing means to the frame and a horizontal support structure having a central aperture and extending substantially horizontally from the back structure, whereby the pipe extends upward through the central aperture and the pipe termination is positioned above the horizontal support structure and laterally external to the frame;a connector porch landed on each of the horizontal support structures and connected to the associated pipe termination;a vertical connector module landed on each of the connector porches, wherein the vertical connector module and the associated connector porch are connected by a clamp connector, wherein the vertical connector module comprises a pipe termination to connect to a pipe line; anda guide structure extending along the vertical back structure upward from the horizontal support structure, the guide structure operative with a guiding means of the vertical connector module to land the vertical connector module on the connector porch. 12. The manifold structure of claim 11, wherein the support bracket is releasably attached to the frame at a lower mount between a bottom part of the frame and the vertical back structure and at an upper mount between a top part of the frame and the vertical back structure. 13. The manifold structure of claim 11, wherein the support bracket is releaseably attached to the frame at a lower mount between a bottom part of the frame and the vertical back structure by the securing means permitting adjustment in positioning the support bracket in the lateral direction relative to the frame and the support bracket is releasably attached to the frame at an upper mount between a top part of the frame and the vertical back structure by the securing means permitting adjustment in positioning the support bracket vertically relative to the frame. 14. The manifold structure of claim 11, wherein the support bracket is a separate unit to be connected by the securing means to the frame after the frame has been located at a seabed. 15. A method to manufacture a manifold structure, comprising: installing piping in place within a frame construction, the piping comprising a pipe termination having a connector flange positioned laterally exterior of the frame construction and directed upward;placing a support bracket comprising a horizontal support structure having a central aperture and extending substantially horizontally from a vertical back structure over the pipe termination such that the pipe termination is received through the central aperture and positioned above the plane of the horizontal support structure and coarse adjusting the support bracket relative to the pipe termination;installing a connector porch atop the horizontal support structure and over the connector flange;bolting the connector porch to the connector flange;welding the connector porch to the support bracket and subsequently fine adjusting and fixing the support bracket to the frame construction; andlanding a vertical connector module on the connector porch, the vertical connector module having a pipe bend and connector flange to connect a pipeline, wherein the landing comprising engaging a guiding means of the vertical connector module in a guiding structure located on the vertical back structure and extending upward from the horizontal support structure. 16. The method of claim 15, wherein the coarse adjusting and the fine adjusting comprises operating securing means between a bottom part of the frame the vertical back structure and operating securing means between a top part of the frame and the vertical back structure
