Patent number: 11920559Abstract: A floating platform for high-power wind turbines, comprising a concrete substructure, said concrete substructure forming the base of the platform, which remains semi-submerged in the operating position, and consisting of a square lower slab on which a series of beams and five hollow reinforced concrete cylinders are constructed, distributed at the corners and the center of said lower slab; a metal superstructure supported on the concrete substructure and forming the base for connection with the wind turbine tower, said tower being coupled at the center thereof; and metal covers covering each of the cylinders, on which the metal superstructure is supported and to which vertical pillars are secured, linked together by beams, which join at the central pillar by an element whereon the base of the wind turbine tower is secured.Type: GrantFiled: December 28, 2018Date of Patent: March 5, 2024Assignees: DRAGADOS S.A., FHECOR INGENIEROS Y CONSULTORES S.A.Inventors: Miguel Vazquez Romero, Noelia Gonzalez Patiño, Elena Martin Diaz, Alejandro Perez Caldentey, José María Ortolano Gonzalez, Raúl Guanche Garcia, Victor Ayllon Martinez, Francisco Ballester Muñoz, Jokin Rico Arenal, Marcos Cerezo Laza, Iñigo Javier Losada Rodríguez

Patent number: 10450714Abstract: A device for protecting against the scouring of granular fillings submerged in gravity structures in which a filling with granular materials must be deposited once the structures are submerged, so that the structures reach a weight sufficient to en sure the stability thereof against the actions to which they are subjected. The device consists of one or more porous covers that sit and/or are secured as an upper closure of the structure to protect the inner filling, each of the covers having a plurality of openings that are distributed on the surface thereof and have a size suitable to allow the passage of the filling material, which filling material is transferred to the inside of the structure simply by pouring until a height close to the cover is reached, leaving a margin or chamber between the two that is suitable for generating an internal turbulence that dissipates wave energy and incident currents, thereby making it difficult for the filling material to escape from the inside through the openings.Type: GrantFiled: April 7, 2016Date of Patent: October 22, 2019Assignees: DRAGADOS, S.A., SA BESIX NV, DRACE INFRAESTRUCTURAS, S.A.Inventors: Christophe Bauduin, Miguel Vazquez Romero, Noelia Gonzalez Patiño, Elena Martin Diaz, Jaime Remon Higuera

Patent number: 10443574Abstract: A gravity-based foundation for the installation of offshore wind turbines, manufactured in a floating dock for towing to the final destination thereof, where it is anchored and finally completely submerged below sea level, comprising a concrete floating caisson, in the shape of a prism, with a hexalobular base, divided into several cells by at least one partition with a significantly circular cross section, concentric with a central cell, determining inner vertical cells interconnected with each other and with the exterior, which is closed at the top by a cover or covers that are removed once the foundation is anchored before being filled with a ballast material.Type: GrantFiled: March 27, 2015Date of Patent: October 15, 2019Assignees: DRACE INFRAESTRUCTURAS, S.A., DRAGADOS, S.A.Inventors: Jaime Remón Higuera, Carlos Jesús Polimón Olabarrieta, Noelia Gonzalez Patiño, Miguel Vázquez Romero
