Abstract
The invention relates to an assembly (1) comprising: —a hollow component (2) with a component opening (3), —a cover (4), by means of which the component opening (3) is closed, and —a fan (5) for ventilating the interior (6) of the component (2), wherein the fan (5) is pivotally secured to the cover (4). The component opening of the component (2) can be closed by the cover (4) so that the interior (6) of the component (2) is protected against external influences. The formation of mold in the interior (6) of the component (2) can be prevented by means of the fan (5). Because the fan (5) is pivotally held on the cover (4), the interior (6) of the component (2) is particularly readily accessible.
Claims10
An arrangement (1), comprising:
- a hollow component (2) with a component opening (3), the component (2) being a pile (8), and the component opening (3) being arranged on an end side (9) of the pie (8)
- a covering (4), by way of which the component opening (3) is closed,
- a fan (5) for ventilating an interior space (6) of the component (2) via a ventilation opening (17) in the covering (4), the fan (5) being fastened pivotably to the covering (4).
(canceled)
A method for assembling an offshore construction (7), comprising:
- a) anchoring a hollow pile (8) in a seabed (13), with the result that a component opening (3) on an end side (9) of the pile (8) lies above a waterline (14), the component opening (3) being closed by way of a covering (4), and a fan (5) for ventilating an interior space (6) of the pile (8) via a ventilation opening (17) in the covering (4) being fastened pivotably to the covering (4),
- b) removing the covering (4),
- c) mounting a construction structure (15) on the pile (6).
