Pendular system for transporting a civil engineering structure in an aquatic medium

摘要

A method for transporting a civil engineering structure including a mast in an aquatic medium is presented. In an embodiment, the method includes fastening the civil engineering structure to at least one flotation unit, moving the civil engineering structure and the connected flotation unit in the aquatic medium as far as a desired position. The civil engineering structure may be fastened to the flotation unit in a region situated above the center of equilibrium of the civil engineering structure connected to the flotation unit. The connection may be configured to uncouple the rotational movements of the flotation unit and of the civil engineering structure about at least one axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the mast of the civil engineering structure.

1. A method for transporting in an aquatic medium a civil engineering structure comprising a wind turbine on top of a mast, the method comprising:
associating the civil engineering structure comprising the wind turbine on top of the mast with at least one buoyancy unit by a fastening means, moving the civil engineering structure and the associated buoyancy unit in the aquatic medium to a desired position, wherein the fastening means is located in a region of the civil engineering structure situated above a center of equilibrium of said civil engineering structure associated with the buoyancy unit, the fastening means being configured to decouple rotational movements of the buoyancy unit and of the civil engineering structure about at least one axis perpendicular to a longitudinal axis of the mast of the civil engineering structure, and wherein a lower portion of the mast extends into the water below the buoyancy unit while the civil engineering structure and the buoyancy unit are moved in the aquatic medium.
