Description
Method for onshore or offshore erecting an upstanding construction
The invention relates to a method for onshore or offshore erecting an upstanding construction comprising longitudinal construction parts, in particular parts of a windmill, comprising the steps of
-providing the longitudinal parts of the construction;
-providing a first crane for hoisting the longitudinal parts of the construction;
-using the first crane for placing the respective longitudinal parts of the construction on top of each other,
-wherein after positioning one or more initial longitudinal parts of the construction on top of each other, the first crane is mounted on such longitudinal parts of the construction, wherein the first crane is movable up and down along such longitudinal parts of the construction, and using the first crane for completing the erection of the upstanding construction with further longitudinal parts and/or a nacelle.
Such a method is known from for instance W02018/132010 and from WO2014/082176, each independently. The known method has limitations particularly when it is to be employed for lifting heavy equipment beyond a certain weight. The weight of the equipment which can be hoisted is limited by the constructional strength of the upstanding construction, which means that the method of W02018/132010 and WO2014/082176 and the benefits that this method provides, cannot be realized when the weight of the equipment to be hoisted exceeds a certain value.
It is an object of the invention to modify the known method such that it can be applied when hoisting heavy equipment that exceeds a maximum weight that can still be hoisted with the known method.
The method of the invention comprises the step of mounting a second crane on the longitudinal parts of the construction and operating the second crane simultaneously with the first crane that is mounted on the longitudinal parts of the construction for completing the upstanding construction with further longitudinal parts and/or the nacelle. In this way the first crane and the second crane, although each being of limited capacity, will together be able to hoist equipment with a weight exceeding the weight that could be lifted with a single crane mounted on the upstanding construction. This also means that given a certain upstanding construction with a certain capacity to withstand lateral forces, it is that even possible to hoist heavy equipment up to the top of the upstanding construction which would otherwise require the application of a freestanding crane. By applying the invention it is therefore possible to maintain a limited footprint during erection of the upstanding construction, even in situations which in the prior art require the application of a freestanding crane. In other words: by applying the invention it is possible to erect an upstanding construction including a relatively heavy weight nacelle on top of it. Furthermore the two cranes are not required to be mounted on the upstanding construction exactly diametrically opposed to each other. The two cranes may include an angle between them of less than 180°, which causes that the resulting forces from the two cranes that come to act on the upstanding construction can remain limited. With the angle of less than 180° between the two cranes the payload that can be hoisted with these two cranes can be of higher weight than when that same payload would be hoisted with a single crane having the same capacity as the two cranes of the invention together.
An other benefit is that when the erection of the upstanding construction is complete, it will suffice to execute maintenance on the upstanding construction by employing only one of the first crane and second crane.
The invention will hereinafter be further elucidated with reference to the drawing of an exemplary embodiment of an apparatus operating according to a prior art method and according to the method of the invention that is not limiting as to the appended claims.
In the drawing:
-figure 1 shows in side view a single crane mounted on an upstanding construction and operating according to the prior art; and
-figure 2A and figure 2B show in side view and crosssectional top view, respectively, two cranes mounted on an upstanding construction and operating according to the invention .
Whenever in the figures the same reference numerals are applied, these numerals refer to the same parts.
In figure 1 representing the method according to the prior art, reference 1 denotes a top longitudinal part of an upstanding construction which is being erected. On the top longitudinal part 1 a further longitudinal part 1' will be placed by a method according to which eventually a completed upstanding construction will result, usually a windmill. An extensive discussion of this known method is provided by W02018/132010, which is deemed incorporated herein by reference. In the process of positioning any further longitudinal part 1' on a previous longitudinal part 1 a crane 2 with a jib 3 is used, which is mounted on the already erected longitudinal part 1 of the construction, which is yet to be completed. The longitudinal part 1' which is to be placed on the previous longitudinal part 1 is shown suspended from the jib 3 of the crane 2.
The method of the invention as depicted in figures 2A and 2B differentiates from the prior art method of figure 1, by the application of a second crane 2' also mounted on the longitudinal part 1 of the upstanding construction being erected, which second crane 2’ is operated simultaneously with the first crane 2 that is mounted on the longitudinal part 1 of the construction, so that both cranes 2 and 2' will be used for completing the upstanding construction by jointly hoisting further longitudinal parts, and/or -as figure 2 shows- a nacelle 4. Particularly a nacelle 4 is relatively heavy equipment, which can however be well handled by two cranes 2, 2' of limited capacity. From figure 2B it is clear that the two cranes 2, 2' are not required to be mounted on the upstanding construction exactly diametrically opposed to each other. The two cranes 2, 2’ may include an angle between them of less than 180°. By employing the two cranes 2, 2' for hoisting of equipment the forces that come to act on the upstanding construction of the longitudinal parts 1, 1' can remain limited. It is remarked that it is in principle possible to further extend the number of cranes mounted on the upstanding construction .
Although the invention has been discussed in the foregoing with reference to an exemplary embodiment of the method of the invention, the invention is not restricted to this particular embodiment which can be varied in many ways without departing from the invention. The discussed exemplary embodiment shall therefore not be used to construe the appended claims strictly in accordance therewith. On the contrary the embodiment is merely intended to explain the wording of the appended claims without intent to limit the claims to this exemplary embodiment. The scope of protection of the invention shall therefore be construed in accordance with the appended claims only, wherein a possible ambiguity in the wording of the claims shall be resolved using this exemplary embodiment.
Aspects of the invention are itemized in the following section.
1. Method for onshore or offshore erecting an upstanding construction comprising longitudinal construction parts (1, 1'), in particular parts of a windmill, comprising the steps of
-providing the longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction;
-providing a first crane (2) for hoisting the longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction;
-using the first crane (2) for placing the respective longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction on top of each other,
-wherein after positioning one or more longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction on top of each other, the first crane (2) is mounted on such longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction, wherein the first crane (2) is movable up and down along such longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction, and using the first crane (2) for completing the erection of the upstanding construction with further longitudinal parts and/or a nacelle (4), characterized by mounting at least a second crane (2') on the longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction and operating the second crane (2') simultaneously with the first crane (2) on the longitudinal parts (1, 1') of the construction for completing the construction with further longitudinal parts and/or the nacelle (4).
2. Method for maintaining an upstanding construction comprising longitudinal construction parts (1, 1'), characterized by employing for maintenance only one of the first crane (2) and second crane (2').
