PROCEDURE FOR EQUIPPING SEA DEPOSIT WITH UNIFIED TECHNIQUE Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E02B17/00 

FIELD: mining.

SUBSTANCE: invention refers to construction of platforms for extraction of minerals. The procedure consists in constructing the central and peripheral sea platforms; each platform is constructed with a base plate rigidly tied with solid soil by means of cement piles; a semi-submerged module with process equipment is mounted on the base plate directly or through a foundation with a sunken upper deck; the sea platforms are connected with pipelines and with a coast compressor station. The semi-submerged nodules with process equipment are replaceable, specialised and self-propelled, for example, in form of a catamaran. The specialised semi-submerged modules are replaced accordingly to the process, while the base is made with supports from unified sections connected between them rigidly.

EFFECT: invention increases reliability of equipping deposits of minerals.
