FLOATING COMPLEX "FLOATING ISLAND" FOR DELIVERY OF INERT MATERIALS ON AREA OF WATER Russian patent published in 2011 - IPC E02B1/00 E02B17/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: floating complex is arranged in the form of hauled pontoon water craft transported from site of building materials loading into specified area of unloading on construction site of hydraulic engineering structure. Floating complex is a modular structure of size-unified containers, enclosed and fixed in rigid frame closed along perimetre, and is formed of required number of containers filled with light fillers, providing for specified floatage and weight-lifting capacity of a water craft. Unified containers are combined to each other by mutually perpendicular flexible links passing through open-ended holes in containers and fixed with their ends to rigid frame. A weight-carrying cover is fixed on top on water craft frame.

EFFECT: improved margin of floatage and weight-lifting capacity of a floating complex, simplified process of building materials delivery, increased efficiency of transportation, reduced time of construction, reduced labour intensiveness and cost of works.
