INSTALLATION AND REMOVAL METHOD OF BOTTOM COMPLEX FOR PERFORMING WORKS ON SHELF, AND COMPLEX OF EQUIPMENT FOR IMPLEMENTING THEREOF Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC B63B35/00 E02B17/02 

FIELD: construction industry.

SUBSTANCE: installation method of bottom complex for performing works on shelf involves assembly of tower erected on the ground and consisting of cone- and taper-shaped sections mounted in series on foundation base with sealing skirt embedded in bottom. Foundation base is installed with hoisting winches and ropes on water-borne vehicle and transported to installation site. Foundation is lowered with coordinated rope movement to bottom. Complex is built up with sections as to height which is more than depth of complex installed on bottom of water area. Vertical position of longitudinal axis of complex is ensured with simultaneous operation of jacks and vibrators arranged on external side along the perimetre of the base. Internal volume of tower is dried. Removal method of bottom complex involves filling of internal tower volume with water. Water-borne vehicle is submerged by means of method of ballast water into tanks. Sag of ropes is chosen with hoisting winches and they are fixed. Ballast water is pumped from tanks. Vibrators and jacks are activated simultaneously till skirt of foundation completely comes out of bottom ground. Complex is transported to new installation place. Complex of equipment includes tower to be installed on ground, and water-borne vehicle. Tower has foundation base with enlarged surface area and sealing skirt, hollow housing with cross section decreasing as to height so that upper section of housing installed on the ground is located above water level. Water-borne vehicle has two hinged housings equipped with tanks, and ballast water receiving and discharge systems.

EFFECT: providing reliable installation of complex on unprepared bottom ground, stability of complex at lateral loads with no anchors available.
