Definitions

  • the present invention concerns an offshore foundation.
  • a foundation according to the preamble of claim 1 is known from document KR 101 656 694 B1 .
  • Common offshore foundations for example for supporting a wind turbine, typically comprise a number of posts or poles that are fixed in the seabed.
  • various known techniques for fixing the posts in the seabed are employed.
  • EP 2 558 647 B1 describes an offshore foundation structure comprising a hollow foundation member and a pile arranged inside the hollow foundation member. The pile is driven into the seabed by hammering means.
  • an offshore foundation structure for supporting an offshore foundation, in particular an offshore foundation for a wind turbine.
  • the offshore foundation structure comprises a foundation member configured for being installed on the seabed and for supporting the offshore foundation, and a fixation member configured for being fixed in the seabed for installing the foundation member.
  • the fixation member has a screw portion for screwing the fixation member into the seabed.
  • This offshore foundation structure has the advantage that it can be installed by screwing the fixation member into the seabed. Screwing is a technique that allows fast installation, thus the time needed for installing the offshore foundation structure can be reduced. Since the equipment needed for installing the offshore foundation structure, such as specific vessels, are expensive, this can further reduce costs for installing the offshore foundation structure. Also, tools for screwing are readily available, which can help to reduce the costs even further.
  • the offshore foundation structure may be denoted as leg, post or pole in the following.
  • the offshore foundation structure comprises at least the foundation member and the fixation member.
  • the foundation member serves as the actual pole, extending essentially above the seabed when installed.
  • the fixation member serves as an anchor for the foundation member, securely fixing the foundation member to the seabed, and is essentially buried in the seabed when installed.
  • "Essentially above” or “essentially buried” means that there may be a small portion of the respective member that is not above the seabed or is not buried in the seabed. A small portion is, for example, a fraction less than 50% of a total length of the respective member.
  • the foundation member has a length that is individually determined depending on the installation site of the post, such that a top end of the foundation member has a predefined height above the seabed or above the water level.
  • the fixation member has a length that is individually determined depending on the installation site, particularly as a function of the properties of the seabed. Further, not only the length, but also a diameter and/or a configuration of other individual features are selected such that the fixation member provides a stable and secure anchor for the foundation member.
  • the fixation member comprises a screw portion, which is in particular located at a tip of the fixation member.
  • the screw portion is configured for screwing the fixation member into the seabed.
  • the screw portion may comprise several sections having various configurations, such as variable diameter, thread specification and/or material.
  • the screw portion is adapted for the particular kind of the seabed at an offshore installation site.
  • the screw portion has a drill portion configured for drilling a hole into the seabed for receiving the fixation member.
  • the screw portion comprises a hard tip that is sufficiently robust for being screwed into rock.
  • the suggested offshore foundation structure facilitates a quick and easy installation or establishment of an offshore foundation.
  • most pre-preparation steps can be carried out at land, while preparation steps at an offshore installation site may be reduced to a minimum.
  • there is no necessity of preparing a specific foundation in the seabed since the offshore foundation structure can be adapted to the specific parameters or properties of the installation site and/or the seabed of the installation site before the installation.
  • the foundation member has a tubular hollow portion and the fixation member is at least partially arranged inside the tubular hollow portion of the foundation member.
  • the fixation member may be arranged inside the tubular hollow portion of the foundation member for transportation, for example, simplifying transport. This can further reduce the cost for installing the post.
  • the foundation member is lighter and more stable at the same time in this configuration. This helps to reduce the amount of raw material needed for manufacturing of the foundation member.
  • the foundation member can serve as a guidance rail for screwing of the fixation member into the seabed. This is particularly advantageous, because it can reduce the number of tools needed for installing the post, thus further reducing the cost.
  • the fixation member may be fully arranged inside the tubular hollow portion of the foundation member before being screwed into the seabed.
  • the foundation member has a fastening portion configured for being fastened to a corresponding fastening portion on the fixation member.
  • the foundation member and the fixation member are configured for being fitted, welded, bolted and/or screwed together.
  • an interference fit or press fit in particular a conical interference fit, may be employed for fitting the foundation member and the fixation member together.
  • the foundation member preferably comprises a number of through holes and the fixation member comprises a corresponding number of screw holes or vice-versa, wherein a screw is driven through each through hole and tightly screwed into the screw hole, thus securely fixing the fixation member to the foundation member.
  • the offshore foundation structure comprises a drive unit configured for screwing the fixation member into the seabed by turning the screw portion.
  • the drive unit may comprise an engine that is driven by electricity or by fossil fuels.
  • the drive unit may be configured to turn the screw portion via a specific driving shaft.
  • the fixation member and the screw portion are integrally formed and the drive unit may be attached to the fixation member directly.
  • the drive unit is configured for providing a torque that is sufficient for screwing the fixation member into the seabed, even when the seabed is rock, in one round, that is, without changing a turning direction during screwing.
  • a counter-torque for screwing of the fixation member is preferably provided by a vessel floating at the installation site during installation.
  • the counter-torque may also be provided by a temporary structure, such as an anchor, or by the foundation member.
  • the drive unit is arranged inside the tubular hollow portion.
  • the drive unit is, for example, rotationally fixed to the foundation member, such that the counter-torque may be provided by holding the foundation member fixed.
  • the drive unit comprises an extension means configured for transferring a torque generated by the drive unit onto the screw portion.
  • the drive unit may be arranged outside of the foundation member, for example on top of the foundation member or on a vessel. Further, usage of the drive unit is flexible in the sense that it can be used for a variety of different fixation members.
  • the extension means is a driving shaft, which may be relatively cheap in production.
  • a shaft may remain inside a tubular hollow portion of the foundation member after screwing the fixation member into the seabed.
  • the screw portion further comprises a drill portion.
  • This embodiment is advantageous in that it allows to drill a hole into the seabed while at the same time screwing the fixation member into the drilled hole in the seabed.
  • the drill portion has a sharp tip and specific tools for drilling a hole into rock or the like.
  • This embodiment allows the fixation member to be screwed into the seabed even when the seabed consists of rock or a similarly tough or hard material.
  • the fixation member is made from metal.
  • the fixation member is made from steel, particularly stainless steel or other kinds of steel which can resist seawater.
  • the fixation member is implemented as a screw. That is, the screw portion extends along the larger part of the fixation member. Particularly, the screw portion extends fully along the part of the fixation member that is buried in the seabed after screwing.
  • the fixation member may comprise a screw head, which may be employed for fastening of the fixation member to the foundation member and/or for attaching the drive unit and turning the fixation member.
  • the fixation member is integrally formed in this embodiment.
  • the fixation member can be unscrewed from the seabed, for example after an end-of-life of an offshore installation. This allows to restore the original state of the seabed at the installation site, such that an environmental impact can be reduced.
  • an offshore foundation in particular for a wind turbine, comprising multiple offshore foundation structures according to the first aspect is suggested.
  • the offshore foundation comprises three or four of the offshore foundation structures. This provides a high stability without using an unnecessary large number of the offshore foundation structures.
  • a method for installing an offshore foundation structure for supporting an offshore foundation in particular an offshore foundation for a wind turbine, is suggested.
  • the method comprises screwing of a fixation member into the seabed by turning a screw portion of the fixation member.
  • the method is preferably employed with an offshore foundation structure according to the first aspect.
  • This method has the advantage that the offshore foundation member can be installed with relatively simple tools, readily available tools and in a relatively short time. That is, the method can save both time and money, because the tools and/or vessels needed for installing are less complex and/or less expensive than the tools or vessels required in other ways of installing an offshore foundation structure.
  • the method further comprises pre-assembling the fixation member with a foundation member configured for being installed on the seabed and for supporting the offshore foundation, and transferring the pre-assembly to an offshore installation site.
  • the pre-assembling is performed on land, for example in a harbor or in a shipyard.
  • the pre-assembled fixation member with the foundation member are denoted.
  • Pre-assembling may comprise fixing the fixation member on the foundation member or vice versa in a manner that allows the fixation member to be screwed into the seabed.
  • the foundation member further serves as a guidance rail for the screwing of the fixation member.
  • a drive unit employed for turning the screw portion for screwing the fixation member into the seabed is also attached in the pre-assembling step. Then, the pre-assembly is ready to be installed without any further preparations necessary at the offshore installation site. That is, all that has to be done at the offshore installation site is to lower the pre-assembly on the desired spot on the seabed and start the drive unit.
  • the method further comprises fastening of the foundation member to the fixation member.
  • the method further comprises attaching a drive unit for screwing the fixation member into the seabed, in particular during the pre-assembly step, and detaching the drive unit from the fixation member after the fixation member has been screwed into the seabed.
  • Fig. 1 shows a schematic view of a first example of an offshore foundation structure 100 comprising a foundation member 110 and a fixation member 120.
  • the offshore foundation structure 100 is shown in a state before it is installed.
  • the offshore foundation structure 100 is shown after being installed at an offshore installation site.
  • the foundation member 110 of this example has a tubular hollow portion 112 in which the fixation member 120 is arranged before installation.

  • the foundation member 110 is oriented such that a fastening portion 114 inside the foundation member 110 is arranged on the side towards the seabed 105.
  • the upper side of the foundation member 110 which is above the water surface 106 (sea level), may have engagement means (not shown) for engaging with a construction of an offshore foundation, such as a tower or the like.
  • the foundation member 110 is open at the top so that a tool for screwing the fixation member 120 can reach an engagement portion 128 formed in an upper portion of the fixation member 120.
  • the foundation member 110 also has an opening at the lower end that is directed towards the seabed 105 through which the fixation member 120 can extend into the seabed 105.
  • the lower end opening is smaller than an upper portion of the fixation member 120, so that the fixation member 120 cannot fully escape the tubular hollow portion 112 of the foundation member 110.
  • the fixation member 120 is arranged inside the foundation member 110 before installation and comprises a screw portion 122, a fastening portion 124 and an engagement portion 128.
  • the fixation member 120 is implemented integrally as a screw.
  • the screw portion 122 may be rotatable independently from other elements of the fixation member 120, such as the fastening portion 124, for example.
  • the upper portion comprising the fastening portion 124 and the engagement portion 128 may be called screw head.
  • the screw portion 122 extends along most of the length of the fixation member 120 and it preferably has a sharp tip on its front end, which is directed towards the seabed 105.
  • the engagement portion 128 is configured for engaging with a tool (not shown) for turning the screw portion 122.
  • the foundation member 110 serves as a guidance rail for the fixation member 120 when it is screwed into the seabed 105, which simplifies the installation process.
  • Fig. 2 shows the offshore foundation structure 100 as described referring to Fig. 1 in an installed state.
  • the fixation member 120 is screwed into the seabed 105.
  • a drive unit 130 (see Fig. 3 ) was employed for turning the screw portion 122 for screwing the fixation member 120 into the seabed 105.
  • the screw portion 122 drags itself and the fixation member 120 into the seabed 105 when it is rotated in the correct direction.
  • the fastening portion 124 of the fixation member 120 engages with the fastening portion 114 of the foundation member 110.
  • the fastening portions 114, 124 are configured as a conical interference fit, which provides a strong form fit or press fit and can transfer a strong force, particularly along a symmetry axis of the cone, which extends along the fixation member 120.
  • the fixation member 120 is screwed into the seabed 105 until a predetermined pressing force between the foundation member 110 and the fixation member 120 is reached.
  • the predetermined pressing force is set such that the offshore foundation structure 100 is securely fixed in the seabed 105 for the desired use of the offshore foundation structure 100.
  • Fig. 3 shows a schematic view of a second example of an offshore foundation structure 100.
  • the offshore foundation structure 100 is shown in an intermediate state during installation.
  • the foundation member 110 comprises a tubular hollow portion 112 inside which the fixation member 120 is arranged.
  • the foundation member 110 comprises a foot 116 that is arranged for creating a large contact area of the foundation member 110 on the seabed 105, so that a high pressing force can be applied by the fixation member 120 on the foundation member 110.
  • the foundation member 110 and the foot 116 are arranged such that the foundation member 110 is tilted relative to the seabed 105.
  • a fastening portion 114 is formed on a lower end of the foundation member 110.
  • the fastening portion 114 comprises a pressing area configured for engaging with a corresponding area of the fixation member 120, and it comprises holes for bolts or screws. Fastening is explained referring to Fig. 4 below.
  • the fixation member 120 in this example comprises a screw portion 122, a fastening portion 124, a drill portion 126 and an engagement portion 128.
  • the drill portion 126 is arranged on the tip of the fixation member 120 and is configured for drilling a hole into the seabed 105.
  • the seabed 105 consists of rock. Then, the drill portion 126 provides a channel or hole for the screw portion 122.
  • the screw portion 122 is embodied as an external thread which is designed such that a diameter of the thread increases from the tip to the upper end, as is shown in Fig. 3 .
  • This has the advantage that a strength of the anchor provided by the fixation member 120 may be increased, because each section of the screw portion 122 establishes a firm grip or engagement with the seabed 105.
  • the fastening portion 124 is arranged at the upper end of the fixation member 120.
  • the fastening portion 124 comprises a flat lower surface and a number of bolt-holes or screw-holes. Fastening is explained with reference to Fig. 4 below.

  • the drive unit 130 may be arranged on a structure (not shown) on the foundation member 110 or on a vessel (not shown), for example.
  • the extension means 132 are embodied as a shaft for rotating the screw portion 122 (functioning also as a drill bit in this example) or the whole fixation member 120. Use of the shaft 132 may be advantageous since the drive unit 130 can stay outside of the foundation member 110, thus it may be constructed with less constraints.
  • the shaft 132 may be implemented with a flexible joint, which allows a higher flexibility. After the fixation member 120 is screwed (drilled) into the seabed 105, the drive unit 130 is preferably detached from the engagement portion 128. The shaft 132 can be left inside the tubular hollow portion 112 or may be removed, as desired.
  • the described offshore foundation structure 100 may be pre-assembled on land.
  • the fixation member 120 may be placed inside the tubular hollow portion 112 of the foundation member 110 and the drive unit 130 may be attached to the engagement portion 128.
  • This pre-assembly is then transported, for example by floats, to the offshore installation site. There, the pre-assembly is lowered to the seabed 105 and the drive unit 130 is switched on. The fixation member 120 will then be screwed into the seabed 105 by the screw portion 122. Overall, this is a very efficient and fast way of installing the offshore foundation structure 100.
