Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for arranging an add-on construction with internal cavity around a top part of a base construction.
- the invention likewise relates to a method for accurate arrangement with the device of the add-on construction on the base construction.
- the method relates particularly to a device and method for arranging a work platform on a monopile foundation of an offshore wind turbine.
- An offshore wind turbine is generally placed on a support structure anchored to a seabed.
- the support structure can comprise a monopile arranged in the seabed and extending above the water surface.
- a lattice structure or jacket can, if desired, be applied for deeper water.
- a transition piece In order to connect the wind turbine mast to a monopile use is in the prior art made of a transition piece.
- the transition piece is connected on a lower side thereof to the monopile and on an upper side thereof to the wind turbine mast.
- the transition piece can, if desired, be provided with add-on constructions such as a work platform, a jetty and other useful applications.
- auxiliary construction In a known method for mounting an add-on construction on a monopile the auxiliary construction is lifted from a jack-up platform or other floating device with a crane and mutually aligned with the monopile for the purpose of coupling the add-on construction to the monopile.
- use is for instance made of auxiliary cables or tugger lines operated with winches.
- an internal cavity of the add-on construction must be arranged around a top part of the monopile.
- the invention has for its object, among others, to provide a device and corresponding method which at least partially obviates the above stated prior art drawbacks.
- the device for arranging an add-on structure with internal cavity around a top part of a base structure comprises a first and a second part which are coupled displaceably relative to each other along a common axis, extending in a longitudinal direction of both parts, between two positions in which the parts can be secured to each other; wherein the first part can be connected to the add-on structure with first coupling means; wherein the second part can be connected to the base structure with second coupling means and wherein the second part can be received in the cavity of the add-on structure for the purpose of supporting the add-on structure.
- An embodiment of the invention relates to a device wherein the second part is elongate and is received over at least a part of its length in the first part.
- the first part can be displaced over at least a portion of the second elongate part between two positions in which the two parts can be mutually coupled.
- An add-on structure connected to the first part will then be able to co-displace over at least a portion of the second elongate part.
- a suitable embodiment according to the invention provides a device wherein the second part can be displaced in the cavity of the add-on structure along a common axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the second part and the add-on structure.
- the second part is situated substantially in the cavity of the add-on structure, then the add-on structure is supported by the second part.
- the second part can be gradually removed by displacement from the cavity of the add-on structure, wherein the supporting function is taken on by the top part of the base structure itself.
- the first part can be connected to the add-on structure with first coupling means. Because the add-on structure is configured to be arranged around a top part of the base structure, it is advantageous to provide a device wherein the first coupling means are configured for connection to an upper side of the add-on structure. In this embodiment the add-on structure is suspended from the first part during use, and the internal cavity is accessible to the top part.
- the second coupling means are configured for connection to an upper side of the base structure.
- the second part is connected to an upper side of the base structure, which allows an add-on structure connected to the second part to be lowered relatively freely along the first part and over the top part of the base structure.
- the first and second coupling means can be embodied in any suitable manner.
- the first and second parts can also be secured to each other in the two positions in which they are fixedly connected to each other. Relative displacement of the two parts is in principle not possible in these positions.
- the device comprises a hydraulic circuit which can be remotely controlled and which comprises at least the above described coupling means.
- the device can be controlled from a position above water, for instance from a jack-up platform or other floating device.
- the first and/or second part form a lattice of mutually connected stiffening elements such as bars.
- Such an embodiment imparts sufficient stiffness and strength to the parts at a relatively low weight.
- a lower edge part of at least the second part comprises an inner surface with a conical progression in the longitudinal direction. This makes it easier to align the second part with the base structure, for instance when connecting the second part to the base structure.
- the first and the second part are coupled displaceably relative to each other along a common axis extending in a longitudinal direction of both parts.
- the first and/or second part is provided with sliding surfaces for the purpose of displacing the parts relative to each other.
- the sliding surfaces can for instance comprise a low-friction plastic, such as a polyolefin.
- Particularly suitable embodiments comprise devices wherein the base construction is stationary and the add-on construction is placed on or partially over the base construction, more particularly wherein the base construction comprises a monopile or jacket, particularly of an offshore wind turbine, and the add-on construction comprises a work platform, a cage construction, a mooring construction and/or a J-tube construction, particularly of an offshore wind turbine.
- Another aspect of the invention relates to a method for arranging an add-on construction with internal cavity around a top part of a base construction, wherein use is made of the described device. Preferred methods have already been described above in the light of preferred embodiments of the device.
- Suitable embodiments of the method comprise, among others, methods in which the second part is elongate and is received over at least a part of its length in the first part; wherein the second part is displaced in the cavity of the add-on construction along a common axis extending in a longitudinal direction of the second part and the add-on construction; wherein an upper side of the add-on construction is connected to the first part with the first coupling means; wherein an upper side of the base construction is connected to the second part with the second coupling means; wherein the first and/or second coupling means comprise a pin connection, preferably a hydraulic pin connection; wherein the first and second parts are secured to each other with a pin connection, preferably a hydraulic pin connection; wherein the first and/or second part form a lattice; wherein a lower edge part of the second part comprises an inner surface with a conical progression in the longitudinal direction; wherein the first and/or second part is provided with sliding surfaces for the purpose of displacing the parts relative to each other; wherein,

- a wind turbine 2 is placed on a support structure in the form of a monopile 4 anchored to a seabed 3.
- Monopile 4 forms a tubular element and can extend from the seabed 3 to a position above the water surface 5, but can also be situated with an upper edge 40 under water, as shown in figure 2 .
- To connect wind turbine mast 20 to a monopile 4 use can be made of a transition piece 6.
- Transition piece 6 likewise forms a tubular element and extends from a bottom part 60 to a top part 61.
- transition piece 6 can be provided with a skirt part 64 which is moved over a top part of monopile 4, wherein an intermediate space 65 is created between an inner surface of the transition piece (6, 64) and an outer surface of monopile 4.
- the height of intermediate space 65 can, if desired, be determined by providing an inner surface of the transition piece (6, 64) with protrusions 66 which find support on an upper edge 40 of monopile 4.
