Patent number: 11261575Abstract: A suction bucket for a seabed foundation for an offshore facility is provided. The suction bucket is arranged for being embedded into a marine sediment. The suction bucket includes a lid and a sidewall. The sidewall is segmented into a first circumferential segment and at least a second circumferential segment. The first circumferential segment is connected with the second circumferential segment. The first circumferential segment and the second circumferential segment are attached to the lid of the suction bucket. Furthermore, the first circumferential segment and the second circumferential segment each contains at least one substantially planar section. Furthermore, a method to manufacture a suction bucket for a seabed foundation for an offshore facility is also provided.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 2018Date of Patent: March 1, 2022Assignees: AALBORG UNIVERSITY, SIEMENS GAMESA RENEWABLE ENERGY A/S, UNIVERSAL FOUNDATION A/SInventors: Finn Daugaard Madsen, Johnny Soerensen, Jens Thomsen, Lars Bo Ibsen, Soeren Andreas Langbak Nielsen, Nicolai Hallum Steensgaard, Morten Kristiansen, Arne Kryger, Poul Henrik Kyvsgaard Hansen, Sigurd Villumsen

Patent number: 8875470Abstract: An assembly rig for assembling a wind turbine tower or wind turbine tower sections is provided. The assembly rig includes a platform assembly having a vertically oriented mast and one or more substantially horizontally oriented booms which are connected to the vertically oriented mast that has a platform or a personnel basket. The assembly rig also includes a radial segment supporting assembly having a vertically oriented mast and one or more substantially horizontally oriented booms connected to the vertically oriented mast that has a segment holding device at its distal end. The assembly rig further includes a surface, for supporting and levelling the platform assembly and the radial segment supporting assembly. In one embodiment, the surface may be a ground support boom.Type: GrantFiled: June 3, 2011Date of Patent: November 4, 2014Assignees: Siemens Aktiengesellschaft, Andresen Towers A/SInventors: Lars Heltoft, Henning Kjaer, Arne Kryger, Bent Juul Larsen

Patent number: 8615965Abstract: The present invention relates to a tubular building structure or tower 10 comprising superposed tube sections 12. At least some of the tube sections 12 are provided with platform segments 28 that are hinge-connected and foldable from a collapsed position in which they are positioned close to the tube sections 12 to a position of use in which they extend radially inwardly into the tubular building structure 10 in the mounted position of the tube sections 12. In particular the invention relates to a tube segment 16 adapted to be interconnected with other tube segments 16 to form a tubular building structure or tower 10 comprising superposed tube sections 12, each tube section being formed by interconnected axially extending tube segments 16.Type: GrantFiled: September 14, 2010Date of Patent: December 31, 2013Assignee: Andresen Towers A/SInventors: Arne Kryger, Lars Ryholl

Patent number: 8590276Abstract: The invention concerns a tower element for a tower, preferably for a wind power plant, where several tower elements with an outer surface and an inner surface are mounted on top of each other, where the periphery of the tower element is made up of a number of segments provided with inwardly facing flanges at the longitudinal sides, the flanges being connected to corresponding flanges on laterally arranged segments. The individual segments are made with an overlap on the outer surface in the transverse joints and with a butt joint at the inwardly facing flanges. By the invention there is achieved flexibility in production and during transport and mounting. With an overlap on the outer surface between two segments, mechanical joining can be performed between two segments in transverse direction. This mechanical joint between two segments results in a more stable construction and a rigidity substantially corresponding to the rigidity that may be achieved in segments joined by welding.Type: GrantFiled: February 5, 2009Date of Patent: November 26, 2013Assignee: Andresen Towers A/SInventors: Arne Kryger, Lars Ryholl
