Estimating the term…
A gravity-based structure for hydrotechnical facilities and for setting up production, transport, transshipment and warehouse complexes with applications near-shore and offshore. The GBS has rectangular top and base slabs, external walls and internal vertical walls to separate the compartments, a central part forming a rectangular prism with the top slab, and a protruding part stretching along the central part sides around its perimeter and having vertical external walls. The protruding and central parts share the base slab, with the protruding part being shorter than the central part. Central part internal vertical longitudinal and transverse walls form compartments. Protruding part internal vertical walls perpendicular to external walls form compartments from the short ends and ballast compartments on the sides. Vertical longitudinal and transverse walls form additional compartments between the intermediate horizontal and base slabs. The design is suitable for shallow waters transportation and adjusted to Arctic conditions and ice impact.
A gravity-based structure comprising a central part and a protruding part, with the central part being a rectangular parallelepiped with a top slab and an intermediate support slab, and the protruding part stretching along central part sides all around a perimeter of the top slab and having external vertical walls and internal vertical walls forming first compartments, and the protruding part and the central part share a rectangular base slab, with the protruding part being lower in height than the central part, the central part has internal vertical longitudinal and transverse walls forming second compartments located on the intermediate support slab and third compartments located on both sides of the intermediate support slab and extending from the base slab to the top slab, and there are additional longitudinal and transverse walls between the intermediate support slab and the base slab forming fourth compartments, wherein the first compartments are located at protruding part sides, and some of the third compartments, and the fourth compartments are ballast compartments.
