Definitions
- the invention relates to a device for the Kolkschutz of offshore structures.
- Cementation is understood to mean erosion phenomena of a water-covered ground due to wave and flow effects and the like in the field of offshore structures.
- a disadvantage of known protective measures is that they are complicated but nevertheless with regard to their protective effect
- a third, often used possibility is therefore to use no Kolkschutz at all, to accept a Verkulkung and thereby to hope that the forming Verkupkung a certain depth not
- the foundation needs a depth of this depth
- Flow damage can be damaged or destroyed.
- the present invention has been made in the light of the above
- the object of the invention is therefore to propose a device for the Kolkschutz of offshore structures, which provides a durable, cost effective and thereby effective protection, but which can be removed with a single Kranzug in dismantling of the system from the seabed.
- the device has one or more interconnected, flexible mats as well as permanently attached to the outer edge region of the device by means of fasteners weight elements and support elements are provided for stiffening, which
- the support elements may be made of steel or plastic.
- the hinge is preferably a hinge, either mechanically or a film hinge, provided, which allows a movement of the support elements in the vertical direction, ie up or down. It is preferably arranged at the end or at the end region of the carrier element, by means of which the carrier element is fastened to the offshore structure.
- the flexibility of the mats compensates for local uneven floors.
- the overall shape of the device is ensured by the stiffening support elements.
- the flexible mat or flexible mats become smaller than the weight elements pressed down.
- the weight elements are on the outer edge of the
- the mats may also include additional weights for weighting and fixation, which are arranged or attached in areas other than the margins of the flexible mats. This will be
- the number of weights required depends on the height of the seabed in relation to the sea level, as the power of the waves decreases with greater depth.
- the support elements are attached at one end by means of hinges on the offshore structure, while in the region of its other end, the weight elements are attached. This creates a
- Carrier elements are attached by means of a joint on the offshore structure, can form a tendency from the joint to the outside.
- the inclined mats can serve as a ramp for water and pressure waves and derive their power. Should the floor sag or undercut beneath the weight members, then the support member will pivot downwardly along with the mat, restoring the protective effect.
- the device or the flexible mat or the interconnected flexible mats forms a disc with a circular or approximately circular contour, in the center of which an opening for the offshore structure is provided. It has been shown that this form provides optimum protection against Verkolkung.
- the central opening can be adapted to the shape of the offshore structure and has, for example, in a monopile also a circular contour.
- sealing means are provided so that no water can penetrate between the offshore structure and the device.
- the radius of the device is about three times as long as the radius of the offshore structure, in particular a monopile, in the plane in which the device is arranged or attached to the offshore structure.
- the flexible mats are stiffened over their entire area in the radial direction.
- the weight elements have, based on their base area in the form of an elongated, symmetrical trapezoid, the longitudinal axis in each case points in the direction of the center of the device or the offshore structure.
- Weight elements may have the shape of an isosceles, symmetrical trapezoid in longitudinal section and / or in cross section, wherein the corners are preferably rounded. This creates no vortex and unfavorable currents of the seawater.
- An advantage of the upwardly and longitudinally tapered shape is that the flexible mats can lower down without the weight elements coming into contact.
- the flexible mat or flexible mats can be geotextile / s or
- plastic film / n also in combination with other materials. It may or may also consist of geotextiles or plastic films.
- Geotextiles areal and permeable textiles. They serve as a building material in the area of deep water, water and traffic infrastructures.
- the textile consists for example of polyamide, polyester and polyethylene.
- the support elements can run straight. But you can also do one
