Seal arrangement for a joint of two joint elements, in particular realized as a monopile and a transition piece, of an offshore structure, preferably an offshore wind energy installation, in particular a substructure thereof, in which, for the purpose of producing a stable joint, an upper joint element and a lower joint element are inserted into each other in a clamping manner by means of at least one seal unit, comprising one of the joint elements and the at least one seal unit fixed to the joint element, in such a manner that the seal unit, in a joining position, is arranged between an inner joint surface of one joint element and an outer joint surface of the other joint element, at least one seal unit having at least one elastic sealing element, which extends in the circumferential direction around the entire circumference and the thickness (D) of which is greater than the thickness (D′) of an adjoining seal unit region and method for producing a seal arrangement.
A seal arrangement for a joint of two joint elements of an offshore structure in which, for the purpose of producing a stable joint, an upper offshore structure joint element and a lower offshore structure joint element are inserted into each other clamping at least one seal unit, comprising one of the upper or lower offshore structure joint elements and the at least one seal unit fixed to the upper or lower offshore structure joint element, the at least one seal unit being fixed to the upper or lower offshore structure joint element in such a manner that the at least one seal unit, in a joining position, is arranged between an inner joint surface of one of the upper or lower offshore structure joint element and an outer joint surface of the other of the upper or lower offshore structure joint element, the at least one seal unit being load-bearing without the use of grouting mortar, such that said at least one seal unit distances the upper and lower offshore structure joint elements in the joining position from each other and supports the upper offshore structure joint element, the at least one seal unit having at least one elastic sealing element, which extends in the circumferential direction around an entire circumference of the at least one seal unit and the thickness (D) of the at least one elastic sealing element is greater than the thickness (D′) of an adjoining region of the at least one seal unit.
A method for producing a seal arrangement according to any one of the preceding claims, for a joint of the upper and lower offshore structure joint elements, in particular realized as a monopile and a transition piece, of an offshore structure, preferably an offshore wind energy installation, in particular a substructure thereof, wherein a grouting compound is poured onto a joint surface of one of the upper or lower offshore structure joint elements and hardens to form the at least one seal unit.
A method for producing a seal arrangement, for a joint of an upper offshore structure joint element and a lower offshore structure joint element of an offshore structure, preferably an offshore wind energy installation, in particular a substructure thereof, wherein a grouting compound is poured onto a joint surface of one of the upper or lower offshore structure joint elements and hardens to form at least one seal unit adhered to the joint surface,
