METHOD OF INSTALLING A HIGH ABOVE THE SEA PROJECTING SLENDER OFFSHORE TOWER WITH SUCTION PILE FOUNDATION.

摘要

The invention relates to a method for erecting an off-shore slender tower. Main components for tower and suction pile comprising base or foundation are assembled into one unit at a remote location other than the final location. Said tower as pre-assembled unit or as two or more, e.g. exactly two, separate parts is transported from said remote location to the final location by a vessel and placed at the final location. At least one of said parts, possibly as part of said pre-assembled unit, is largely vertically transported. E.g. said part or pre-assembled unit is suspended aside the vessel with a largely vertical orientation of the tower from a hoisting device at the vessel during shipping and possibly installation.
