Definitions
- the invention relates to a method for producing a foundation pile for offshore structures.
- the invention further relates to a foundation pile for offshore structures and an offshore structure with a pile foundation.
- Offshore structures in the context of the present invention are, for example, wind turbines, substations or drilling or production platforms.
- a pile foundation in the seabed is required.
- Common foundation types are for example so-called monopiles, jackets, tripods or tripiles.
- one or more steel piles are first driven into the seabed.
- a steel grid structure / steel tube structure is placed on the steel piles in the case of a jacket foundation, which receives a so-called "transition piece" above the sea level.
- the transition piece then takes on the actual structure, for example in the form of a steel tower.
- the tower receives at its uppermost end the wind power generator with a rotor.
- the piles must be driven with considerable depth into the seabed, as the stability of the piles is only ensured if the piles have been driven into the ground to a sustainable soil horizon.
- the actual load of the piles may be higher than the assumed load bearing requirements, which may ultimately result in the failure of a foundation pile.
- the load and material fatigue caused by the piling process can exceed the predicted and calculated amount, so that the pile must either be completely abandoned or has a reduced life expectancy.
- the danger of a local structural failure, for example due to dents, increases with greater depth of foundation.
- the piles have to be set at a specified distance, which is ensured by means of the template in the so-called "prepiling". This presupposes that the ground condition is such that all piles to be set can be driven to the given soil horizon. There are no variations with regard to the distance or the place for setting the piles.

- the protective tube is pumped empty before dropping the drop anchor, so that the kinetic energy with which the drop anchor can penetrate into the seabed, significantly increased.
- the protective tube which may extend, for example, beyond the sea level, be pumped with a liquid, so that at the pipe base through the liquid column, an increased hydrostatic pressure is built up, which facilitates the penetration of the drop anchor into the seabed.
- the liquid column can be adjusted accordingly, for example, with regard to its specific weight.

Description
Die Erfindung betrifft ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Gründungspfahls für Offshore-Bauwerke. Die Erfindung betrifft weiterhin einen Gründungspfahl für Offshore-Bauwerke sowie ein Offshore-Bauwerk mit einer Pfahlgründung.The invention relates to a method for producing a foundation pile for offshore structures. The invention further relates to a foundation pile for offshore structures and an offshore structure with a pile foundation.
Offshore-Bauwerke im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung sind beispielsweise Windkraftanlagen, Umspannwerke oder Bohr- oder Förderplattformen.Offshore structures in the context of the present invention are, for example, wind turbines, substations or drilling or production platforms.
Für bestimmte Fundamenttypen für Offshore-Bauwerke, insbesondere für Offshore-Windkraftanlagen, ist eine Pfahlgründung im Meeresuntergrund erforderlich. Gängige Fundamenttypen sind beispielsweise sogenannte Monopiles, Jackets, Tripods oder Tripiles. Zur Verankerung dieser Fundamente im Meeresboden werden zunächst ein oder mehrere Stahlpfähle in den Meeresuntergrund gerammt. Auf die Stahlpfähle wird dann beispielsweise bei einem Jacket-Fundament eine Stahlgitterstruktur/Stahlrohrstruktur aufgesetzt, die oberhalb des Meeresspiegels ein sogenanntes "Transition Piece" (Übergangsstück) aufnimmt. Das Transition Piece nimmt dann das eigentliche Bauwerk, beispielsweise in Form eines Stahlturmes, auf. Der Turm nimmt an seinem obersten Ende den Windkraftgenerator mit einem Rotor auf.For certain foundation types for offshore structures, in particular for offshore wind turbines, a pile foundation in the seabed is required. Common foundation types are for example so-called monopiles, jackets, tripods or tripiles. To anchor these foundations in the seabed, one or more steel piles are first driven into the seabed. For example, a steel grid structure / steel tube structure is placed on the steel piles in the case of a jacket foundation, which receives a so-called "transition piece" above the sea level. The transition piece then takes on the actual structure, for example in the form of a steel tower. The tower receives at its uppermost end the wind power generator with a rotor.
Das Rammen der Fundamentpfähle, die auch als sogenannte "Piles" bezeichnet werden, geht mit Lärmemissionen einher, die insbesondere deshalb nicht wünschenswert sind, weil sie eine Schädigung und Verhaltensstörungen von marinen Säugetieren verursachen. Es ist daher bekannt und teilweise vorgeschrieben, vor Durchführung von Rammarbeiten Vergrämungsmaßnahmen und/oder Schallminderungsmaßnahmen durchzuführen, damit sichergestellt ist, dass sich keine marinen Säugetiere in der Nähe der Rammarbeiten aufhalten und/oder dass der Schall auf den erlaubten Grenzwert reduziert wird.The ramming of foundation piles, also referred to as "piles", is associated with noise emissions, which are undesirable in particular because they cause damage and behavioral disturbances of marine mammals. It is therefore known and sometimes required to carry out deterrent measures and / or noise abatement measures before carrying out pile driving to ensure that no marine mammals are in the vicinity of the pile work and / or that the sound is reduced to the permitted limit.
Da die Eindringtiefe der eingerammten Stahlpfähle und der Fortschritt solcher Rammarbeiten von der Festigkeit des Meeresuntergrundes abhängig ist, ist das Setzen von Stahlpfählen mit dem Nachteil behaftet, dass die Pfähle eines auf mehreren Pfählen aufgesetzten Fundaments nicht immer mit der gleichen Eindringtiefe im Meeresgrund verankert sind.Since the depth of penetration of the rammed steel piles and the progress of such pile work depends on the strength of the seabed, this is Setting steel piles suffers from the disadvantage that the piles of a foundation placed on several piles are not always anchored with the same depth of penetration in the seabed.
Je nach Beschaffenheit des Meeresuntergrundes müssen die Pfähle mit beachtlicher Tiefe in den Meeresuntergrund gerammt werden, da die Standsicherheit der Pfähle nur gewährleistet ist, wenn die Pfähle bis zu einem tragfähigen Bodenhorizont in den Untergrund eingetrieben wurden. Unter Umständen kann die tatsächliche Belastung der Pfähle höher als die angenommenen Tragfähigkeitsvoraussetzungen sein, was letztendlich zum Versagen eines Gründungspfahls führen kann. Unter Umständen kann die Belastung und Materialermüdung durch den Rammvorgang das vorhergesagte und einkalkulierte Maß überschreiten, so dass der Pfahl entweder ganz aufgegeben werden muss oder eine reduzierte Lebenserwartung hat. Die Gefahr eines lokalen Strukturversagens, beispielsweise durch Beulen, nimmt mit größerer Gründungstiefe zu.Depending on the nature of the seabed, the piles must be driven with considerable depth into the seabed, as the stability of the piles is only ensured if the piles have been driven into the ground to a sustainable soil horizon. Under certain circumstances, the actual load of the piles may be higher than the assumed load bearing requirements, which may ultimately result in the failure of a foundation pile. Under certain circumstances, the load and material fatigue caused by the piling process can exceed the predicted and calculated amount, so that the pile must either be completely abandoned or has a reduced life expectancy. The danger of a local structural failure, for example due to dents, increases with greater depth of foundation.
Das Verbinden der Unterwasserkonstruktionen des Fundaments mit den Gründungspfählen erfordert das Vergießen der Verbindung mit unter Wasser aushärtbaren Vergussmassen oder anderer aufwendiger Verbindungstechniken.Connecting the underwater constructions of the foundation to the foundation piles requires potting the compound with water curable potting compounds or other expensive bonding techniques.
Das Setzen der Pfähle muss in einem vorgegebenen Abstand erfolgen, was beim sogenannten "Prepiling" über entsprechende Schablone sichergestellt wird. Dies setzt voraus, dass die Untergrundbeschaffenheit derart ist, dass alle zu setzenden Pfähle bis zum vorgegebenen Bodenhorizont vorgetrieben werden können. Variationsmöglichkeiten bezüglich des Abstandes oder des Ortes für das Setzen der Pfähle bestehen keine.The piles have to be set at a specified distance, which is ensured by means of the template in the so-called "prepiling". This presupposes that the ground condition is such that all piles to be set can be driven to the given soil horizon. There are no variations with regard to the distance or the place for setting the piles.
Beim Setzen größerer Pfähle können unterseeische Strömungen zur Auskolkung des Meeresbodens im Bereich der Pfähle führen. In diesem Fall müssen weitere Maßnahmen vorgesehen werden, um eine Auskolkung des Meeresbodens zu verhindern.When placing larger piles, undersea currents can lead to the seabed bottoming out in the area of the piles. In that case, further measures must be taken to prevent the bottom of the sea from being cleared.
Der Erfindung liegt daher die Aufgabe zugrunde, ein besonders einfaches Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Gründungspfahls für Offshore-Bauwerke bereitzustellen, welche insbesondere nicht den zuvor erwähnten Beschränkungen unterliegt.The invention is therefore based on the object to provide a particularly simple method for producing a foundation pile for offshore structures, which in particular is not subject to the aforementioned limitations.
Die Aufgabe wird gelöst durch ein Verfahren zur Herstellung eines Gründungspfahls für Offshore-Bauwerke, folgende Verfahrensschritte umfassend:
- Bereitstellen und Anordnen eines Fallankers in einer vorbestimmten Höhe oberhalb des Meeresbodens,
- Befestigen wenigstens eines flexiblen Zugelements an dem Fallanker,
- Befestigen wenigstens einer Vergussmasseleitung an dem Zugelement,
- Abwerfen des Fallankers, so dass dieser in dien Meeresuntergrund eindringt und
- Einbringen einer aushärtbaren Vergussmasse in den von dem Fallanker bei dem Eindringen in den Meeresuntergrund erzeugten Schusskanal.
- Providing and arranging a drop anchor at a predetermined height above the seabed,
- Attaching at least one flexible tension member to the fall anchor,
- Attaching at least one potting grounding line to the tension element,
- Throwing the fall anchor so that it penetrates into the seabed and
- Introducing a hardenable potting compound into the firing channel created by the pincers during penetration into the seabed.
Als Schusskanal im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung wird der von dem Fallanker beim Eintauchen in das Sediment des Meeresuntergrundes erzeugte Verdrängungskanal bezeichnet.As a shot channel in the context of the present invention, the displacement channel generated by the fall anchor when immersed in the sediment of the seabed is called.
Der Erfindung liegt der Gedanke zugrunde, mittels eines Fallankers und wenigstens einer an dem Fallanker angeschlagenen Ankertrosse wenigstens einen Ankerpunkt im Meeresuntergrund zu setzen, an dem die Ankertrosse angeschlagen ist.The invention is based on the idea of using at least one anchor point in the seabed by means of a drop anchor and at least one anchored to the anchor anchor anchor at the anchorage on which the anchorage trunk is posted.
Der Fallanker ist beispielsweise hinsichtlich seiner Masse und hinsichtlich seiner Geometrie so bemessen, das dieser aufgrund seiner kinetischen Energie im freien Fall bis zu einer vorbestimmten Teufe in de Meeresuntergrund eindringt. Dieser nimmt dabei die an diesem angeschlagene Ankertrosse mit. An der Ankertrosse können eine oder mehrere Vergussmasseleitungen befestigt sein, die ebenfalls von dem Fallanker mitgenommen werden. Durch diese Vergussmasseleitung wird sodann unter Druck eine aushärtbare Vergussmasse, beispielsweise ein unter Wasser aushärtbarer Beton in den Schusskanal eingepresst, wobei die Ankertrosse gleichzeitig der Armierung der so in situ hergestellten Vergussmassesäule dient.The fall anchor is dimensioned, for example, in terms of its mass and in terms of its geometry so that it penetrates due to its kinetic energy in free fall to a predetermined depth in the seabed. This takes in the case of this battered anchor trunk. One or more potting ground lines can be fastened to the anchor line, which are also carried along by the drop anchor. By means of this potting ground line, a curable potting compound, for example a concrete that hardens under water, is then injected under pressure into the firing channel Pressed, the anchor line at the same time serves to reinforce the Vergussmassesäule thus prepared in situ.
Als Fallanker im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ist beispielsweise ein sogenannter Torpedo Pile vorgesehen, der einen torpedoförmigen Grundkörper mit einer Eindringspitze aufweist und der endseitig mit mehreren Torpedoflügeln zwecks Stabilisierung versehen ist.As a fall anchor according to the present invention, for example, a so-called torpedo pile is provided, which has a torpedo-shaped base body with a Eindringpitze and the end is provided with a plurality of torpedo wings for the purpose of stabilization.
Der Torpedokörper kann beispielsweise hohl ausgebildet sein und einen oder mehrere Ballastkammern umfassen, die mit einem Ballast befüllt werden können.The torpedo body may for example be hollow and comprise one or more ballast chambers that can be filled with a ballast.
Das Verfahren hat insbesondere den Vorzug gegenüber herkömmlichen Pfahlgründungen, dass eine Abspannung des zu entrichtenden Bauwerks an eine oder mehrere Ankertrossen erfolgen kann, die naturgemäß einen gewissen Freiraum bei der Platzierung des Offshore-Bauwerks lässt, so dass das Setzen der Gründungspfähle nicht durch eine Schablone oder die Unterwasserstruktur des Bauwerks vorgegeben ist.The method has in particular the advantage over conventional pile foundations that a bracing of the structure to be paid to one or more anchor lugs can be done, which naturally leaves a certain amount of space in the placement of the offshore structure, so that the setting of the foundation piles not by a template or the underwater structure of the structure is given.
Darüber hinaus entfällt das Setzen der Pfähle mittels Rammeinrichtungen. Der Vorgang des Setzens des Torpedos/Fallankers ist einmalig, wohingegen das Rammen von Pfählen mit einem wiederkehrenden regelmäßig frequenten Schalleintrag in die Meeresumgebung einhergeht.In addition, the setting of piles by means of piling devices is eliminated. The process of setting the torpedo / fall arrester is unique, whereas the ramming of stakes is accompanied by a recurring regularly frequent sound entry into the marine environment.
Als Zugelement im Sinne der vorliegenden Erfindung ist eine Ankertrosse oder eine Ankerkette oder ein Ankerkabel vorgesehen.As a tension element in the context of the present invention, an anchor line or an anchor chain or an anchor cable is provided.
An einem Fallanker können selbstverständlich mehrere Zugelemente/Ankertrossen, oder Ankerkabel, oder Ankerketten angeschlagen sein, obwohl im Folgenden jeweils von einem Zugelement die Rede ist.Of course, a plurality of tension elements / anchor cables, or anchor cables, or anchor chains can be attached to a fall anchor, although the following is a tension element in each case.
Ein Zugelement im Sinne der Erfindung ist jedenfalls ein flexibles Zugelement, welches nur Zugkräfte, nicht hingegen Druckkräfte übertragen kann.In any case, a tension element in the sense of the invention is a flexible tension element which can transmit only tensile forces, but not compressive forces.
Bei einer vorteilhaften Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, dass die Vergussmasse über wenigstens eine Teillänge des Zugelements in den Schusskanal eingebracht wird, wobei das Zugelement in der ausgehärteten Vergussmasse verbleibt. Das Zugelement dient dabei einerseits der Armierung der Vergussmasse, andererseits der Abspannung des zu errichtenden Offshore-Bauwerks. Damit wird die vom Fallanker zu erreichende Tiefe reduziert, da die zur Abspannung stimmung der Hauptstruktur an dem Zugelement erforderliche Mantelreibung reduziert ist und durch den Vergussmassenkörper geliefert wird.In an advantageous variant of the method according to the invention it is provided that the potting compound is introduced over at least a partial length of the tension element in the firing channel, wherein the tension element remains in the cured potting compound. The tension element serves on the one hand the reinforcement of the potting compound, on the other hand, the bracing of the offshore structure to be built. Thus, the depth to be reached by the fall anchor depth is reduced because the required for bracing humor of the main structure of the tension element jacket friction is reduced and is supplied by the Vergussmassenkörper.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird das Zugelement an der von dem Fallanker abliegenden Seite mit wenigstens einem Schwimmkörper versehen, der in einem vorbestimmten Abstand von dem Fallanker angeordnet ist, wobei der Abstand nach der geplanten Eindringtiefe des Fallankers in den Meeresuntergrund und nach der Höhe des Meeresspiegels über dem Meeresboden gewählt wird, so, dass das Zugelement und die mit diesem verbundene Vergussmasseleitung aufschwimmen können, so dass diese von einem Versorgungsschiff eingefangen werden können.Conveniently, the tension member is provided at the side remote from the anchor anchor side with at least one float, which is arranged at a predetermined distance from the fall anchor, the distance chosen according to the planned depth of penetration of the drop anchor into the seabed and the height of the sea level above the seabed is such that the tension member and the potting grounding line connected thereto can float so that they can be captured by a supply ship.
Zweckmäßigerweise wird der Fallanker vor dem Abwerfen mit Ballast versehen, wobei die Ballastmasse so gewählt wird, dass der Fallanker bis zu einem tragfähigen Bodenhorizont in den Meeresuntergrund eindringt.The fall anchor is expediently provided with ballast before being dropped off, wherein the ballast mass is chosen such that the fall anchor penetrates into the seabed up to a load-bearing soil horizon.
Bei einer besonders vorteilhaften Variante des Verfahrens ist vorgesehen, dass der Fallanker an einem Abwurfstrang aufgehängt wird und das Abwerfen durch Betätigen eines Auslösemechanismus an dem Abwurfstrang erfolgt. Der Fallanker ist in diesem Fall sowohl an dem Abwurfstrang als auch an eines oder mehrere Zugelemente angeschlagen.In a particularly advantageous variant of the method, it is provided that the drop anchor is suspended from a discharge line and the dropping takes place by actuating a triggering mechanism on the discharge line. The fall anchor is struck in this case both on the discharge line as well as on one or more tension members.
Bei einer günstigen Variante des Verfahrens gemäß der Erfindung kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Fallanker durch ein Schutzrohr oder eine Spundwandeinfassung in den Meeresuntergrund eingebracht wird, wobei das Schutzrohr oder die Spundwandeinfassung vorher gesetzt wurden.In a favorable variant of the method according to the invention it can be provided that the fall anchor is introduced through a protective tube or a sheet pile wall into the seabed, wherein the protective tube or the sheet pile enclosure were previously set.
Um ein Eindringen des Fallankers in den Meeresuntergrund zu erleichtern, kann vorgesehen sein, dass der Meeresuntergrund unterhalb des Schutzrohres oder innerhalb der Spundwandeinfassung vor dem Abwerden des Fallankers durch Injektion von Druckluft oder Wasser fluidisiert wird.In order to facilitate penetration of the fall anchor into the seabed, provision may be made for the seabed to be fluidized beneath the protective tube or within the sheet pile enclosure prior to the fall anchor being removed by injection of compressed air or water.
Alternativ kann beispielsweise bei Verwendung eines Schutzrohrs vorgesehen sein, dass das Schutzrohr vor dem Abwerfen des Fallankers leer gepumpt wird, so dass sich die kinetische Energie, mit der der Fallanker in den Meeresboden eindringen kann, signifikant erhöht.Alternatively, it can be provided, for example, when using a protective tube, that the protective tube is pumped empty before dropping the drop anchor, so that the kinetic energy with which the drop anchor can penetrate into the seabed, significantly increased.
Alternativ kann das Schutzrohr, welches sich beispielsweise über den Meeresspiegel hinaus erstrecken kann, mit einer Flüssigkeit vollgepumpt werden, so dass am Rohrfuß durch die Flüssigkeitssäule ein erhöhter hydrostatischer Druck aufgebaut wird, der das Eindringen des Fallankers in den Meeresuntergrund erleichtert. Die Flüssigkeitssäule kann beispielsweise hinsichtlich ihres spezifischen Gewichts entsprechend eingestellt sein. Beispielsweise kann als Flüssigkeit eine Schwerspatlösung Anwendung finden.Alternatively, the protective tube, which may extend, for example, beyond the sea level, be pumped with a liquid, so that at the pipe base through the liquid column, an increased hydrostatic pressure is built up, which facilitates the penetration of the drop anchor into the seabed. The liquid column can be adjusted accordingly, for example, with regard to its specific weight. For example, can be used as a liquid barium spar solution application.
Das Schutzrohr kann beispielsweise vor dem Abwerfen des Fallankers bis zu einer gewissen Teufe in den Meeresuntergrund eingespült werden.The protective tube can, for example, be flushed into the seabed to a certain depth before the drop anchor is dropped off.
Die Vergussmasseleitung kann beispielsweise mit mehreren in Längsrichtung mit Abstand zueinander vorgesehenen Austrittsöffnungen oder Austrittsdüsen versehen sein, so dass die Vergussmasse gleichmäßig über die Höhe des Zugelements verteilt in den Schusskanal eindringen kann.The potting ground line can be provided, for example, with a plurality of outlet openings or outlet nozzles provided at a distance from one another in the longitudinal direction, so that the potting compound can penetrate uniformly over the height of the tension element into the firing channel.
Auch ist es möglich, dass die Vergussmasseleitung während des Vergießens gezogen wird. Dann ist es nicht unbedingt erforderlich, mehrere Austrittsöffnungen für die Vergussmasse vorzusehen. Ein Ziehen der Vergussmasseleitung kann allerdings auch vorgesehen sein, wenn eine Vergussmasseleitung mit mehreren über deren Höhe und/oder Umfang verteilt angeordneten Austrittsöffnungen für die Vergussmasse Anwendung findet.It is also possible that the potting grounding line is pulled during potting. Then it is not absolutely necessary to provide several outlet openings for the potting compound. However, a pulling of the potting ground line can also be provided if a potting ground line with a plurality of distributed over the height and / or circumference arranged outlet openings for the potting compound application.
Die Vergussmasseleitung kann wenigstens über einen sich in dem Schusskanal erstreckenden Teilabschnitt verloren werden, d.h. über diesen Abschnitt in dem Schusskanal verbleiben.The potting grounding line can be lost at least over a subsection extending in the weft channel, i. remain in the firing channel via this section.
Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird weiterhin gelöst durch einen Gründungspfahl für Offshore-Bauwerke, der einen Fallanker, wenigstens eine an diesen angeschlagene Ankertrosse als Zugelement und eine in situ innerhalb des Meeresuntergrundes vergossene und sich innerhalb des Meeresuntergrundes über eine Länge erstreckende Vergussmassesäule umfasst, wobei sich die Ankertrosse über eine Teillänge innerhalb der Vergussmassesäule und bis wenigstens zum Meeresspiegel erstreckt. Der Gründungspfahl gemäß der Erfindung kann wenigstens eine Schutzverrohrung umfassen, die sich nur über eine Teillänge der Vergussmassesäule erstreckt.The object underlying the invention is further achieved by a foundation pile for offshore structures, comprising a drop anchor, at least one cast on this anchor line as a tension element and a cast in situ within the seabed and extending within the seabed over a length Vergussmassesäule, wherein the anchor tube extends over a partial length within the Vergussmassäule and at least to the sea level. The foundation pile according to the invention may comprise at least one protective casing which extends only over a partial length of the casting-mass column.
Alternativ kann der Gründungspfahl mit einer Spundwandeinfassung versehen sein, die sich über eine Teillänge der Vergussmassesäule erstreckt.Alternatively, the foundation pile may be provided with a sheet piling enclosure extending over a partial length of the potting column.
Die der Erfindung zugrundeliegende Aufgabe wird schließlich gelöst durch ein Offshore-Bauwerk mit einer Pfahlgründung, umfassend mehrere im Meeresuntergrund versenkte Fallanker und sich oberhalb der Fallanker erstreckende, in situ vergossene Vergussmassesäulen, wobei das Bauwerk über Ankertrossen abgespannt ist, die an den Fallankern angeschlagen sind.The object underlying the invention is finally achieved by an offshore structure with a pile foundation, comprising a plurality of sinker sunk in the seabed and above the drop anchor extending, in-situ grouted Vergussmassesäulen, wherein the building is covered by anchor lugs, which are posted on the drop anchors.
Zweckmäßigerweise erstrecken sich die Ankertrossen jeweils durch eine Vergussmassesäule bzw. in dieser etwa längsmittig.Appropriately, the anchor lugs each extend through a Vergussmassäule or in this approximately longitudinally.
Das Offshore-Bauwerk gemäß der Erfindung kann beispielsweise einen Monopile umfassen, der in herkömmlicher Art und Weise erstellt wurde und der eine Abspannung über mehrere Ankertrossen umfasst.The offshore structure according to the invention may for example comprise a monopile, which has been constructed in a conventional manner and which comprises a bracing over a plurality of anchoring lugs.
Das Offshore-Bauwerk gemäß der Erfindung umfasst eine Pfahlgründung die gemäß der Erfindung ausgebildet ist, wobei die Pfahlgründung mit dem Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung durchgeführt wurde.The offshore structure according to the invention comprises a pile foundation formed according to the invention, the pile foundation being carried out by the method according to the invention.

Es wird zunächst Bezug genommen, auf
Der Monopile 1 gemäß der Erfindung hat einen verhältnismäßig großen Durchmesser und wurde entweder durch Rammen oder Einspülen in den Meeresuntergrund 4 gesetzt.The
Die
Der Monopile 1 nach der Erfindung ist allerdings kürzer und schlanker als der Monopile 1 gemäß dem Stand der Technik. Ersterer ist über vier Ankertrossen 5 abgespannt, von denen jede an einen Gründungspfahl 6 im Meeresuntergrund 4 angeschlagen ist. Genauer gesagt ist jede Ankertrosse 5 an einem Torpedopile 7 befestigt und erstreckt sich durch eine oberhalb des Torpedopiles 7 angeordnete Vergussmassesäule 8, welche im Meeresuntergrund in situ vergossen wurde. Die Vergussmassesäule 8 ist ohne verlorene Schalung und ohne Standrohr erstellt worden, wie nachstehend noch erläutert wird. Demgemäß hat die Vergussmassesäule 8 keine regelmäßige Außenkontur.However, the
Die
Eine Ausgestaltung des Torpedopiles 7 ist in

In dem dargestellten Beispiel ist eine extra konzentrische Anordnung der Vergussmasseleitung und der Ankerrosse 5 vorgesehen, derart, dass die Ankertrosse 5 sich innerhalb der Vergussmasseleitung 12 erstreckt, alternativ kann selbstverständlich vorgesehen sein, eine oder mehrere Vergussmasseleitungen 12 parallel zu der betreffenden Ankertrosse 5 zu verlegen.In the illustrated example, an extra concentric arrangement of Vergussmasseleitung and the
Selbstverständlich können mit einem Torpedopile 7 mehrere Ankertrossen 5 verbunden sein, wie es in den
Bei dem Verfahren gemäß der Erfindung ist vorgesehen, das Torpedopile 7 unter Ausnutzung einer gewissen Fallhöhe und Fallenergie in den Meeresuntergrund 4 einzuschießen, wobei das Torpedopile 7 dabei die Ankertrosse 5 sowie die Vergussmasseleitung 12 mitnimmt. Sodann wird in den durch das Torpedopile 7 erzeugten Schusskanal im Meeresuntergrund 4 eine Vergussmasse, beispielsweise Beton, unter Druck eingepresst, so dass sich die in
Das Torpedopile 7 hängt an einem Kran 13, der auf einer provisorisch bereits errichteten Plattform 3 aufgestellt ist. Die Plattform 3 kann Teil des zu verankernden Offshore-Bauwerks sein.The
Das Torpedopile 7 ist einerseits an der Ankertrosse 5 angeschlagen, andererseits an einem Abwurfstrang 14 aufgehängt.The
An dieser Stelle sei angemerkt, dass selbstverständlich das Torpedopile 7 von einem Schiff angeworfen werden kann.It should be noted at this point that, of course, the
Mit 15 ist ein Schutzrohr bezeichnet, dessen Durchmesser geringfügig größer als derjenige des Torpedopiles 7 ist. Das Schutzrohr wurde nur geringfügig in den Meeresuntergrund 4 eingespült und erstreckt sich deutlich oberhalb des Meeresspiegels 16.With a
Das Torpedopile 7 wird in das obere Ende des Schutzrohres 15 eingeführt, so dann wird das Torpedopile 7 von dem Abwurfstrang 14 getrennt oder mit dem Abwurfstrang 14 unter Ausnutzung dessen kinetischer Energie abgeworfen. Das Torpedopile 7 fällt durch das Schutzrohr 15 und dringt in den Meeresuntergrund 4 ein, wobei es einfachstenfalls nur die an diesem angeschlagene Ankertrosse 5 und die Vergussmasseleitung 12 mitnimmt.The
An dem abliegenden Ende der Ankertrosse 5 ist ein Schwimmkörper 17 befestigt, der ein Aufschwimmen der Ankertrosse 5 ermöglicht. Die Ankertrosse 5 kann auf diese Art und Weise von einem Versorgungsschiff aufgenommen und beispielsweise an dem Offshore-Bauwerk befestigt und gespannt werden.At the distal end of the
Das Torpedopile 7 kann vor dem Abwurf mit entsprechendem Ballast versehen worden sein, weswegen der Grundkörper 9 des Torpedopiles 7 mit entsprechenden Kammern versehen sein kann.The
Die Masse eines Torpedopiles kann etwa zwischen zehn und hundert Tonnen betragen, ein solches Torpedopile kann beispielsweise eine Länge bis zu zwanzig Metern und einen Durchmesser von bis zum einem Meter aufweisen.The mass of a torpedo pile can amount to approximately between ten and one hundred tons, such a torpedo pile can for example have a length of up to twenty meters and a diameter of up to one meter.
