Definitions

  • the invention relates to a method for lowering a float Floating foundations, which is a structure towering above the water surface carries, in its end position below the water surface and for fixing in its end position, with anchors being set in the subsurface, and the floating body of cables or rods connected to the anchors is held.
  • Floating foundations are known which are used, for example, in drilling rigs become.
  • Such floating foundations include buoyancy bodies that support the weight of the structure towering above the water surface.
  • the building owns a part below the water surface and one part that rises above the surface of the water Drilling rig covers.
  • the buoyancy of the buoyancy bodies of the floating foundation together with the buoyancy originating from the underwater part of the structure in total just the weight of the entire construction, d. H. the entire construction floats in the water, whereby the buoyancy body of the Floating foundations are located below the water surface.
  • the floating foundation is to maintain a place above the sea bed via cables or ropes or hawser with respect to horizontal displacements anchored relative to the subsurface. These cables or ropes run from Floating foundation at an angle to the vertical, for example of about 45 ° to the surface and are in it with conventional anchors attached.
  • Such anchors are designed differently depending on the surface and for example known in the form of rock anchors for rock floors and tie rods for gravel floors.
  • these are the ones that form the cable Strands open at the end of the cable (frayed).
  • the cable is in one inserted into the underground hole, with an injection tube to runs to the front end of the cable, and is through this injection tube Mortar pressed in, which causes it to be anchored in the subsurface.
  • Other embodiments too such anchors, which are also purely mechanical by means of folding mechanisms or the like are known.
  • a floating foundation with arranged below the water surface Floats, which are held by cables or hawser, which in the underground fixed anchors are attached, is known from US 5,964,550 A.

  • On this flange disc 20 are the tubes 14 by means of one at the lower end of the respective tube welded base plate 21 and flange plate 20 and base plate 21 penetrating screw 22 attached. Are located between the stands 19 mounting holes 23.
  • Tubes 14 each have a working platform 24 attached to the tubes 14 (FIG. 6).
  • the cables (hawser or ropes) 13 or rods connected to the anchors 12 run through the tubes 14 and extend to above their upper ends.
  • the cables 13 or rods were used for this purpose before being attached of the tubes 14 threaded onto the floating body 1 in the tubes 14.
  • a pulling device 25 is also provided, which u. a. of a hydraulic device 26 can be actuated.
  • Such traction devices 25 are, for example under the names "pre-tensioning press” or “lifting hydraulics" known and commercially available.
  • the buoyancy of the float can be reduced by the air volume present in the buoyancy chambers 3 is reduced.
  • the water level in the buoyancy chambers is in the Fig. Schematically represented by line 28. Because the lowering of the float 1 takes place against its buoyancy, a certain stabilization of the Float reached when lowering.
  • the angle of inclination for example is in a range between 25 and 45 °.
  • the anchor 30 for this obliquely to put extending rods or cables 31 (or hawser) is in the lower Area of the building 2 formed an anhydrous area in the manner of a caisson.
  • the peripheral wall 32 of the structure 2 is at least in this lower one Area enclosed and watertight and also a waterproof or airtight false ceiling 33 is provided.
  • one or more drilling devices are used, which by means of appropriate drilling devices these pipes 35 drill holes in the ground 11 to set the anchor 30.
  • these pipes 35 drill holes in the ground 11 to set the anchor 30.
  • cables 31 or rods are connected through the Tubes 35 run and are fixed to the floating body 1.
  • the work on Attachment of the anchor 30 and rods or cables 31 do not have to Divers are carried out and the work to be carried out by divers can be kept to a minimum.
