FIELD: construction.
SUBSTANCE: method includes production of civil and assembly works for erection of float-on elements in a dry dock, filling of the dry dock with water and release of float-on elements from the dock via a floating dam. Besides, at least two float-on elements are combined until they float with the help of temporary links into a single system that represents a stable multi-body vessel.
EFFECT: increased manufacturability of making float-on elements of hydraulic engineering structures, their material intensity is reduced, and stability of float-on elements is ensured with lower subsidence, and also requirements are reduced to characteristics of dry building docks.
