Abstract
A tower segment for at least a section of a tower includes a tower segment defining an interior, a longitudinal axis, and a wall, and a supply structural segment preassembled in the interior of the tower segment extending along a the longitudinal axis of the tower segment. The supply structural segment is movable relative to the tower segment and connected to the wall of the tower segment so that the supply structural segment can be moved at least from an assembly position to a connecting position. Other tower, tower segment, support structure, support structural segment, and methods of erection of same use at least a tower segment of a tower.

A method for erecting at least a section of a tower including a plurality tower segments arranged one atop another with a given upper tower segment and a given lower tower segment forming a horizontal joint therebetween, each tower segment within the section including a supply structural segment preassembled thereon, the supply structural segments configured to be joinable to create a supply structure extending along a height of the at least a section of the tower defined by the given upper tower segment and the given lower tower segment, the method including the steps of:
- arranging the supply structural segment of a given upper tower segment in an assembly position;
- placing the given upper tower segment on a given lower tower segment while the supply structural segment of the given upper tower segment is in the assembly position;
- moving the supply structural segment of the given upper tower segment from the assembly position to a connecting position;
- and
- connecting the supply structural segment of the given upper tower segment to the supply structural segment of the given lower tower segment.
A tower segment for at least a section of a tower, the tower segment comprising:
- a tower segment defining an interior, a longitudinal axis, and a wall;
- and
- a supply structural segment preassembled in the interior of the tower segment extending along the longitudinal axis of the tower segment, wherein the supply structural segment is movable relative to the tower segment and connected to the wall of the tower segment so that the supply structural segment can be moved at least from an assembly position to a connecting position.
A supply structure for at least a section of a tower, the section including at least one tower segment having a wall, the supply structure comprising:
- a supply structural segment;
- and
- at least one fastening strut fastening the supply structural segment to the tower segment, the fastening strut being connected to the supply structural segment via a first joint, the fastening strut having a second joint for the movable connection of the fastening strut to the wall of the tower segment.
A supply structure for at least a section of a tower, the section including a plurality of tower segments arranged one atop another, the supply structure comprising:
- several supply structural segments joined together for attachment to the section of the tower, wherein each given pair of the supply structural segments are joined together via joints so that the supply structure can be folded together to an assembly position in which the several supply structural segments at least one of lie essentially flat on top of one other and can be unfolded to a use position in which the several supply structural segments adjoin one other with regard to a longitudinal direction of the several supply structural segments.
A method for erecting a supply structure in an interior of at least a section of a tower including several tower segments, the supply structure including several supply structural segments arranged one atop another and joined together, the method comprising the steps of:
- configuring the supply structure in a folded position in which the several supply structural segments lie essentially flat one atop another;
- introducing the supply structure into the interior of the at least a section of the tower the folded assembly position;
- and
- moving the supply structure to an unfolded use position in which the several supply structural segments adjoin one another with regard to a longitudinal direction of the several supply structural segments, the supply structural segments being unfolded via joints until the supply structure extends along a height of the at least a section of the tower.
