    摘要: Disclosed is a float, notably for an offshore wind turbine including at least four columns, including a central column and three exterior columns that are connected to the central column by branches forming pontoons. The columns have a fixing-collar forming unit for fixing the columns to corresponding assembly portions of the branch forming pontoon, and the float includes a unit for centering the columns in the assembled position on the corresponding assembly portions of the branch forming pontoon.

    摘要: Disclosed is a structure such as a floating structure, including at least one fairlead for guiding an anchoring element thereof at an anchoring point, the fairlead including a guide to guide the anchoring element in translation between the structure and the anchoring point, a unit for moving the anchoring element in translation in the guide in order to place the anchoring element under tension, and a lock to prevent the anchoring element from moving in translation in the guide, for mooring the structure to the anchoring point. The unit for moving the anchoring element in translation in the guide is integrated into a distinct part separate from the rest of the structure of the fairlead, and this part and the rest of the structure of the fairlead include the retractable coupling unit thereof.

    摘要: Disclosed is a semi-submersible floater defining an operating state and a non-operating state, and including at least two outer columns, a central column for receiving a payload, and, for each outer column, a branch in the form of pontoon connecting the outer column to the central column and defining a branch axis oriented from the central column towards the outer column. Each branch is formed from a first portion and a second portion which extend successively along the corresponding branch axis, each one over at least 10% of the total extent of the branch, along the branch axis. In the operating state of the floater, the second portion of each branch is at least partially filled with a ballast material, and the first portion does not contain any ballast material.

    摘要: This gland for a sealed feedthrough of an orifice of a partition using a filiform component such as an electric cable, in particular, of the type including: a gland body for the passage of the filiform component, sealingly fixed to the partition to be passed through opposite the orifice; a seal in the form of a deformable sleeve, placed in a corresponding housing of the gland body, around the component; and a component forming a rammer for compressing the seal in the form of a deformable sleeve and deforming them in the housing of the gland body against the filiform component, so as to provide the seal between the gland body and the filiform component. The seal in the form of a deformable sleeve is in the form of a stack of annular seals.
