The method for generating a substantially uninterrupted connection of the peripheral wall portions of two adjacent tubular segments each provided with flanges having holes therein, of a tower, in particular for a wind energy turbine, comprises the steps of: arranging a first tubular segment ( 18 ) and a second tubular segment ( 20 ) with said flanges ( 26, 28 ) thereof facing each other and said holes ( 34, 36 ) in said flanges ( 26, 28 ) aligned with each other; connecting said tubular segments ( 18, 20 ) by prefastening screws ( 38 ) extending through said aligned holes ( 34, 36 ) in said flanges ( 26, 28 ); forming into the side ( 50 ) of the tubular segments ( 18, 20 ) opposite to the flanges ( 26, 28 ) a notch ( 52 ) of a predetermined width at least at a location of said contacting flanges ( 26, 28 ) where a gap ( 48 ) having a width greater than a minimum width exists; inserting into said notch ( 52 ) at least one insert part ( 60 ) having a width substantially equal to the width of said notch ( 52 ); and completely fastening said screws ( 38 ) connecting said flanges 826, 28 ) of said tubular segments ( 18, 20 ) providing a substantially uninterrupted connection of said peripheral wall portions ( 22, 24 ) of said tubular segments ( 18, 20 ) through said at least one insert part ( 60 ).
