METHOD OF BLOCK-MODULAR CONSTRUCTION OF HYDRAULIC STRUCTURES IN UNDERWATER PITS Russian patent published in 2010 - IPC E02B1/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: method for block-modular construction of hydraulic structures in underwater pits consists in the fact that block modules are manufactured on coastal base in plant according to continuous flow process technology, populating them with equipment and devices, are delivered to the construction site and installed in project position onto previously prepared underwater foundation. Block modules of hydraulic structures are delivered to area of construction on barges-platforms and installed in design position onto underwater foundation in one, two or more tiers depending on height of hydraulic structure, with the help of floating lifting facility, which may operate in constrained navigable conditions. Block modules are reliably fixed to each other and sealed along joined parts with the help of quick-to-connect flange and other devices and sockets of utilities.

EFFECT: reduced labour intensiveness and material intensity, expansion of operational and technical capabilities and area of application of block-modular construction of hydraulic structures with various height and purpose.
