Floating structure for installation in water, a closed ring-structure and a tubular element for building a floating structure, and a method for building a vertical structure

Abstract

The invention relates to a floating structure (100), a closed ring-structure (200) and a tubular element (300) for building a floating structure (100), a central structure (400), and to a method for building a vertical structure (102). The floating structure (100) comprises:—a plurality of tubular elements (300) connected with joints (220) at the ends of adjacent tubular elements (300) to form a plurality of stackable, closed ring-structures (200) and wherein said closed ring-structures (200) are provided with a vertical attachment means (332, 342) binding adjacent, stacked, closed ring-structures (200) together vertically to form a vertical structure (102) with an internal volume (101) intended for filling with water and other objects such as fish,—the closed ring-structures (200) being provided with buoyancy chambers—the vertical structure (102), when assembled, adapted for filling with a concrete filling within its interior,—a bottom structure (110) covering a bottom end of the vertical structure (102). The method for building a vertical structure (102) using a plurality of tubular elements according to any of the preceding claims, comprising:—assembling tubular elements (300) by joining ends of adjacent tubular elements to form a first closed ring-structure (200) intended to be mounted on top of a preceding structure (110, 200),—filling the tubular spacing (311) of the tubular elements (300) of said first closed ring-structure (200) with a concrete filling, and—repeating the previous steps.
