Abstract: A method for constructing a floater for a floatable wind energy power plant includes providing a first pre-assembled part with at least one first connection arrangement, providing a second pre-assembled part with at least one second connection arrangement, arranging the at least one first connection arrangement of the first pre-assembled part proximate to the at least one second connection arrangement of the second pre-assembled part so as to form a connection site which includes at least a part of the at least one first connection arrangement and at least a part of the at least one second connection arrangement, sealingly arranging an enclosure about the connection site so as to seal the enclosure against an ingress of water, and connecting the first pre-assembled part and the second pre-assembled part at the connection site. Each of the first pre-assembled part and the second pre-assembled part are floatable.

Abstract: Semi-submersible fish-farming system, such as a fish pen (1), which can be located in at least two different semi-submerged positions, a first position (15) and a second position (16), by ballasting and deballasting, the system comprises a floating collar (2) comprising a ring-shaped or polygonal lower buoyancy member (7), a ring-shaped or polygonal upper buoyancy member (9), a plurality of pillars (8) connecting the buoyancy members (7, 9), a net cage (3) suspended from the floating collar (2) and a net roof (5) closing off the top of the net cage (3), wherein —the net cage (3) is suspended from the lower buoyancy member (7) or the pillars (8); —in the first position (15), the system is floating on the lower buoyancy member (7) and the pillars (8) and upper buoyancy member (9) is above the water surface; —in the second position (16), the lower buoyancy member (7) and the major parts or all the extension of the pillars (8) is below the water surface.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a joint for trusses having members comprising tube-like hollow bodies, comprising a core member to which is welded a plurality of transition pieces to which free end a tubular member can be welded, the cross section of the transition pieces changing between the free end of these and the end which is welded to the core member.
