SUPPORT STRUCTURE FOR SEA-TECHNOLOGY, IN PARTICULAR FOR AN OFFSHORE WIND ENERGY INSTALLATION AND A METHOD FOR PRODUCING A SUPPORT STRUCTURE OF THIS TYPE

摘要

The invention relates to a support structure for sea-technology, in particular for an offshore wind energy installation. Said structure comprises a tower and a foundation located below the tower and connected thereto. The tower is configured, at least in a section lying above and adjoining the foundation, from several statically co-operating supports (3, 4, 5) and struts (7, 8, 9), which together form a slender framework that permits the passage of water and air. The foundation is a single monopole (1), embedded in the sea bed, comprising a closed lateral outer casing, which transfers pitching moments of the support structure into the sea bed by means of a lateral bedding. The width of the lower section of the framework is less than four times the diameter of the monopole.
