Floating Structure Comprising a Plurality of Modular Floating Blocks

Floating structure (1) comprising at least one row (2) of floating rectangular parallelepipedal modular blocks (3), one block (3) comprising four vertical peripheral faces that meet at four vertical edges, each vertical edge bearing an assembly lug (6) in which an assembly system (8) can be received in order to join said block (3) to one or more adjacent blocks (3),

• said or each row (2) comprising a plurality of blocks (3) joined to one another by assembly systems (8) arranged in two diagonally opposite assembly lugs (6) of each block (3), with the exception of two end blocks (3),
• said floating structure (1) being configured such that each block (3) is joined to an adjacent block (3) by a single assembly lug (6),
• in which two adjacent, joined-together blocks (3) of a row (2) have two superposed assembly lugs (6), and in which the assembly lugs (6) have a receptacle (7), with the assembly system (8) passing through the receptacles (7) of the superposed assembly lugs (6) in order to join the blocks (3) to one another,
• and in which blocks (3) located on an outer perimeter of the floating structure (1) are connected to one another by an orientation control device (14) comprising a tensioned element, the orientation control device (14) being secured to the blocks (3) of the outer perimeter on an assembly lug (6) that projects out from the floating structure (1), and the orientation control device (14) being configured to adjust a general orientation of the floating structure (1).
