    摘要: A caisson for maritime works, consisting of a base (1) and at least one lateral wall (2) attached to the same and formed by a plurality of voussoirs (3). Within the same a main space (4) is defined, intended to receive granular material as ballast. The voussoirs (3) feature an upper side (5), a lower side (6) and lateral sides (7) and are arranged with the lateral sides (7) of adjacent voussoirs (3) attached to each other, forming horizontal segments (8). Said horizontal segments (8) are attached to other identical horizontal segments (8) to define the lateral wall (2) by means of the union of the lower sides (6) and upper sides (5) of the voussoirs (3) forming the same. The base (1) has a geometric shape which coincides with the geometric shape of the horizontal segments (8). A procedure for the assembly of said caisson for maritime works is also described.

    摘要: A foundation structure for locating an object mounted on the foundation structure on a sea bed or a river bed comprises an integral buoyancy device having variable buoyancy and a rigid control surface. The integral buoyancy device is movable relative to the foundation structure to vary the position of the rigid control surface and to control the position of the center of buoyancy relative to the position of the center of gravity. This stabilizes the foundation structure during submergence and surfacing. A method for controlling the deployment and retrieval of the foundation structure is also described.

    摘要: A method and vessel for removing or installing an offshore jacket structure in a body of water, the vessel having a generally planar main buoyancy section having the outline of a delta with an extension at the apex and auxiliary buoyancy sections extending transversely of the main buoyancy section at the ends of the base of the delta. The bottom parts of the auxiliary buoyancy sections have a rounded outer surface and contain heavy fixed ballast. The vessel may be rotated as it is brought close to the jacket structure with the auxiliary sections straddling the jacket structure. The vessel is rotated towards the jacket structure while its rounded bottom portion rolls on the seabed. Once the jacket structure is connected securely to the vessel, the vessel is rotated back to the initial position de-ballasting the auxiliary sections before it is brought to the surface.

    摘要: A floating platform for recovery of oil and gas from offshore oil and gas fields includes a hull having a portion located substantially below the water surface, and including a portion thereof which extends above the water surface. The platform is anchored to the seabed by one or more tendons secured to the base of the hull and to the seabed. The payload capacity of the floating platform is increased without redesigning the structural design of the hull by attaching a column extension or mounting a detachable buoyancy module to the lower end of the hull for accommodating changing platform payload requirements.

    摘要: A system for offloading LNG (liquified natural gas) from a tanker (26) in shallow waters, for regasing, or heating the offloaded LNG to produce gaseous hydrocarbons, or gas, for pressurizing the gas, and for flowing the gas to an onshore station (56), includes a structure that is fixed to the sea floor and projects above the sea surface and aids in mooring the tanker. In one system, the structure that is fixed to the sea floor is a largely cylindrical tower (12) with a mooring yoke (20) rotatably mounted on its upper end. A floating structure (14) such as a barge that weathervanes, has a bow end pivotally connected to a distal end of the yoke, so the barge is held close to the tower but can drift around the tower with changing winds, waves and currents. The tanker is moored to the barge so the barge and tanker form a combination that weathervanes as a combination. Regas and pressurizing equipment (32, 34) for heating and pressuring the LNG, and any crew quarters (36), are all located on the barge, so a low cost tower can be used. In another system, the structure is a breakwater (180).

    摘要: A method and apparatus for installing marine silos to a desired depth into the seabed such that the interior of the silos is void of seabed material to a desired depth. A submergable silo positioning template operatively supports a silo and excavation modules during surface transportation to the intended site and is capable while floating and submerged of raising and lowering the silo relative to the template and maintaining vertical alignment of the silo. The submergable excavating module incorporates apparatus for loosening and removing sea bed material within the silo thus permitting the silo and excavating module to descend to a desired depth in the seabed. The template and the excavating module are separated from the silo after silo installation and are reused for other silo installations. During silo installation the influence of hydrostatically stimulated force may be employed to assist forcible insertion of the silo into the soil of the seabed.
