  • Patent number: 10774813
    Abstract: Floating construction comprising: a flotation base, comprising at least one essentially hollow body selectively fillable with ballast, where the maximum horizontal dimension of the flotation base is greater than the maximum vertical dimension of the floating base; a building supported by said flotation base preferably comprising a telescopic tower; downward impelling means; and at least three retaining cables the corresponding upper ends of which are attached to said flotation base, preferably in peripheral positions of the flotation base, and the corresponding lower ends of which are attached to said downward impelling means, such that said retaining cables are taut and apply a downward force on said flotation base that increases the stability thereof. And the installation method for this floating construction.

  • Patent number: 10669736
    Abstract: The invention relates to a guiding device for assembling towers and/or foundations for wind turbines, intended to enable and/or facilitate relative movement between a mobile element and a support element, at least one of said elements being a section and/or part of the shaft of a wind turbine tower or foundation. The guiding device comprises: sliding means that are in contact with the mobile element and allow the relative movement thereof with respect to the guiding device; securing means that connect the guiding device to the support element; and means for geometric adaptation disposed between the sliding means and the securing means, which allow load transmission between the sliding means and the securing means while at the same time also allowing relative movement between the two.

  • Patent number: 10633862
    Abstract: Cable anchoring means for a horizontal joint between two elements, comprising: a cable partially embedded in an element, a receiving through duct provided in the other element to receive the protruding portion of said cable, traction means, fastening means and a threading device applicable on said protruding portion of said cable and comprising a part with a pointed and flexible geometry that extends coaxially with respect to said protruding portion from the free end of said protruding portion. a cable anchoring procedure for a horizontal joint between two elements, comprising: a) providing said elements; b) providing said anchoring means; c) bringing said elements close to one another and threading said cable into said duct; also comprising the step c): c.1) stopping the approximation when the distance between the elements is adequate; c.2) placing said flexible part inside said duct; c.3) resuming movement.
