DE2337673 offenbart ein Verfahren zum Transport von rohrförmigen Körpern, wobei die Körper beidseitig verschlossen werden und lösbar zu einem schwimmfähigen Bündel verbunden werden. Darüber hinaus ist an einem Ende des Bündels ein Antrieb versehen. DE2337673 discloses a method for transporting tubular bodies, wherein the bodies are closed on both sides and are detachably connected to form a buoyant bundle. In addition, a drive is provided at one end of the bundle.

Der vorliegenden Erfindung liegt hier eine Aufgabe zugrunde, ein Verfahren zum Transport der rohrförmigen Körper anzugehen, welches mit einfachen Mitteln möglichst flexibel durchgeführt werden kann. Darüber hinaus sollen die erforderlichen Hebe- und Transportvorgänge minimiert werden.The object of the present invention is to address a method for transporting the tubular body, which can be carried out as flexibly as possible by simple means. In addition, the required lifting and transport operations should be minimized.

Zur technischen Lösung dieser Aufgabe wird ein Verfahren mit den Merkmalen des Anspruchs 1 vorgeschlagen. Weitere Vorteile und Merkmale ergeben sich aus den Unteransprüchen.For technical solution of this problem, a method with the features of claim 1 is proposed. Further advantages and features emerge from the Dependent claims.

Gemäß dem erfindungsgemäßen Verfahren werden die zu transportierenden rohrförmigen Körper beidseitig verschlossen, wobei das schwimmfähige Bündel eine paketförmige Einheit bildet, wobei rohrförmige Körper in mehreren Lagen übereinander auf das Bündel als unterste Lage gestapelt und floßähnlich transportiert werden, und wobei das Bündel an wenigstens einem Ende mit einem Antrieb versehen wird.According to the method of the invention, the tubular bodies to be transported are closed on both sides, wherein the buoyant bundle forms a packet-shaped unit, wherein tubular bodies are stacked in several layers one above the other on the bundle as the lowest layer and transported raft-like, and wherein the bundle at least one end a drive is provided.

Dabei genügt es, dass zumindest die rohrförmigen Körper, die direkt ins Wasser eintauchen oder mit Wasser in Berührung kommen, verbunden werden. Höhere Lagen können bei mehrlagigem Aufbau auch offen sein. Es kann eine schwimmfähige Antriebseinheit verwendet oder eine eigene Antriebseinheit angeordnet werden.It is sufficient that at least the tubular body, which dive directly into the water or come into contact with water, are connected. Higher layers may also be open in multi-layered construction. It can be used a floating drive unit or a separate drive unit can be arranged.

Die rohrförmigen Körper können in mehreren Lagen übereinander gestapelt transportiert werden. Dabei können die Lagen so ausgebildet werden, dass sich ein erforderlicher maximaler Tiefgang und/oder eine maximale Transporthöhe ergeben. Auf diese Weise kann auf die Randbedingungen der Transportwege, auf Wassertiefen, Brückenhöhen und dergleichen Rücksicht genommen werden.The tubular bodies can be transported in several layers stacked one above the other. The layers can be formed so that there is a required maximum draft and / or a maximum transport height. In this way, consideration can be given to the boundary conditions of the transport routes, to water depths, bridge heights and the like.

Die Verbindung der rohrförmigen Körper erfolgt beispielsweise durch Seile, Netze, vorzugsweise aber auch durch Hakengestelle oder sonstige Verbindungselemente. Auch liegt es im Rahmen der Erfindung, rohrförmige Körper zumindest für den Transport durch Schweißen oder dergleichen zu verbinden, wenn dadurch nicht die Oberflächeneigenschaften geschädigt werden.The connection of the tubular body takes place for example by ropes, nets, but preferably also by hook racks or other connecting elements. It is also within the scope of the invention to connect tubular body at least for transport by welding or the like, if it does not damage the surface properties.

In erfindungsgemäßer Weise kann eine Bugeinheit und/oder eine Heckeinheit so ausgebildet sein, dass sie direkt mit der Stirnfläche eines Bündels verbunden wird. Auf diese Weise kann das Bündel auch strömungstechnisch optimiert ausgebildet werden und insbesondere mit geringerem Energieaufwand wirtschaftlich transportiert werden. Die Bugeinheiten und Heckeinheiten ebenso wie die Bündel selbst können mit den erforderlichen Ankern, Beschlägen und dergleichen Ausrüstungen gemäß BINSCHVO, SCHSV und weiteren nationalen und internationalen Vorschriften versehen sein. Die Bug- und/oder Heckeinheiten können Eigenantriebe aufweisen.In accordance with the invention, a charging unit and / or a rear unit may be designed such that it is connected directly to the end face of a bundle. In this way, the bundle can also be made aerodynamically optimized and, in particular, can be transported economically with less energy consumption. The Bugeinheiten and tail units as well as the bundles themselves can be provided with the necessary anchors, fittings and the like equipment according to BINSCHVO, SCHSV and other national and international regulations. The bow and / or tail units may have self propelled drives.

In erfindungsgemäßer Weise können die Bug- und Heckeinheiten derart ausgebildet sein, dass am Transportziel beide Einheiten vom Bündel gelöst werden. Die Verbindung mit dem Bündel kann durch Seile, Beschläge, durch Verbindung von Bug- und Heckeinheiten miteinander und dergleichen insbesondere kraftschlüssig erfolgen. Vor Ort werden Bug- und/oder Heckeinheit wieder von dem Bündel gelöst. Bei Vorliegen von Bug- und Heckeinheiten können diese so ausgebildet sein, dass diese sich wiederum zu einem schwimmfähigen transportablen Element in Form eines Sonderfahrzeuges miteinander verbinden lassen.In accordance with the invention, the bow and tail units can be designed such that both units are released from the bundle at the transport destination. The connection with the bundle can be effected by ropes, fittings, by connecting bow and tail units with each other and the like in particular non-positively. On-site bow and / or tail unit are released again from the bundle. In the presence of bow and stern units, these can be designed so that they in turn can be connected together to form a buoyant transportable element in the form of a special vehicle.

Auch kann vorgesehen sein, dass derartige Einheiten entsprechende Gestelle und dergleichen aufnehmen, um diese rücktransportieren zu können.It can also be provided that such units receive corresponding racks and the like in order to be able to transport them back.
