METHOD FOR ASSEMBLING A FLOATING STRUCTURE FOR SUPPORTING A WIND TURBINE
A method for constructing a wind turbine concrete floater including a central connector from which radial arms extend, the central connector carrying a central stability tower, and each arm carrying an outer stability tower. The method includes prefabricating the arms, central connector and at least parts of the stability towers, pre-assembling the central connector with one arm to form a primary pre-assembly, mounting temporary flotation devices onto the arms to provide additional buoyancy to them, floating the primary preassembly and floating the other arms of the floater, and assembling offshore said primary preassembly with said other arms.
FLOATING ISLAND CONSTRUCTION METHOD FOR OVERALL TRANSPLANTATION OF SANDY SOIL PLANTS
Disclosed is a floating island construction method for overall transplantation of sandy soil plants, the method comprising the following steps: separation from a surrounding soil body; construction of a buoyancy tank device (13); and waterproof construction, so as to construct a plant floating island from plants to be transplanted in a reservoir area. The floating island protects all the root systems of the plants and most of the undisturbed soil, improves the survival rate, preserves the unique landscape of an original habitat, and can be constructed at the same time as water conservancy project construction, which saves on the construction period, saves costs, and is convenient for on-site overall scheduling.

Offshore Floating Island
An offshore floating island includes a supporting structure and an island main body. The bottom of the supporting structure is fixed at the seabed, and the island main body includes one or two or more compartment bodies; the upper part of the supporting structure is provided with a carrying part; the bottom of each compartment body is provided with a mounting part; the compartment body is of a cavity structure, and a filler is injected to the compartment body till the compartment body sinks to cause the mounting part to be in lock type clamping with the carrying part. The island main body is of a compartment-sinking type structure; the filler is poured into the compartment bodies to cause the compartment bodies to sink; the mounting parts and the carrying part cooperate to realize detachable connection between the supporting structure and the compartment bodies.
METHODS OF SECURING A VESSEL DURING TRANSPORTATION, OFF-LOADING, AND INSTALLATION OF WIND TURBINE COMPONENTS
A method of transporting a first vessel having wind turbine components to an offshore installation vessel. The method includes (i) securing the first vessel to a second vessel using a first tow line attached to a front end (or bow) of the first vessel, and (ii) securing the first vessel to a third vessel using a second tow line attached to a back end (or stern) of the first vessel. The method further includes transporting the first vessel to the offshore installation vessel using the second vessel and the third vessel secured to the first vessel via the first and second tow lines, respectively. The method also includes securing the first vessel to the offshore installation vessel. The first vessel can include one or more fender walls. The first vessel can be secured to the offshore installation vessel using one or more mooring lines.
