Description

Technology Field

[0001] The present invention relates to a technology for constructing offshore or riverbed structures, and more specifically, to a temporary structure used in the construction of offshore or riverbed structures. Background Technology

[0002] Offshore structures, such as offshore wind jacket support structures, are installed to be fixed to the seabed using either a post-piling or pre-piling method.

[0003] The post-piling method is a foundation type applied to the support structures of the Southwest Sea Offshore Wind Power Demonstration Complex in Korea, in which piles are inserted into the legs of the post-piling jacket. As described in Registered Patent No. 10-1659783, after placing the offshore structure to be constructed on the seabed at the construction site, piles are inserted into the seabed through axial holes formed in the offshore structure. When the post-piling method is applied to the construction of offshore wind turbines, since piles are inserted through the legs provided in the offshore wind jacket support structure, complex processes for the installation of the offshore wind jacket and pile construction occur, and the transition piece placed on the offshore wind jacket support structure must be installed offshore through a separate process after the piles are installed.

[0004] The pre-piling method is a method in which piles are installed in advance on the seabed at the construction site of the offshore structure to be constructed, and the offshore structure is connected to the installed piles. Since the installation of the offshore wind jacket is simple and the connection between the offshore wind jacket support structure and the transition piece does not need to be performed at sea, the construction period can be significantly shortened compared to the post-piling method. However, conventional overseas pre-piling methods require a special type of structure (Pre-piling template), and since Public Patent No. 10-2024-0040978 applies the lower part of the offshore wind jacket as a Pre-piling template, the process is complex and requires a separate structure for precision construction, and the structure used for pile installation is installed by fixing it to the seabed together with the piles.

[0012] Hereinafter, the configuration and operation of an embodiment of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.

[0013] FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2 respectively illustrate a temporary structure for constructing a water surface substructure and a foundation according to an embodiment of the present invention as a perspective view and a plan view. Referring to FIGS. 1 and FIGS. 2, a temporary structure (100) for constructing a water surface substructure and a foundation according to an embodiment of the present invention (hereinafter abbreviated as 'temporary structure') includes a plurality of suction fixing cofferdams (110) and a connecting structure part (190) that connects and integrates the plurality of suction fixing cofferdams (110).

[0014] Multiple suction fixing cofferdams (110) are spaced apart on a plane and connected by a connecting structure (190) to be integrated into a single structure. In this embodiment, there are four suction fixing cofferdams (110), and each of the four suction fixing cofferdams (110) is located at a point corresponding to a vertex of a square. Although this embodiment describes four suction fixing cofferdams (110), there may be two, three, or five or more, and this is also within the scope of the present invention. The positions of the multiple suction fixing cofferdams (110) may be changed according to the construction conditions and environment of the water substructure and foundation. In this embodiment, the temporary structure (100) is described as having multiple suction fixing cofferdams (110), but it may be composed of only one suction fixing cofferdam (110) without a connecting structure (190), and this is also within the scope of the present invention.

[0015] In FIG. 3, a suction fixing cofferdam (110) is shown as an exploded perspective view, and in FIG. 4, a suction fixing cofferdam (110) is shown as a longitudinal cross-sectional view. Referring to FIG. 1 to FIG. 4, the suction fixing cofferdam (110) is in the shape of a tube extending along the height direction overall, and is equipped with a suction fixing part (120), a cofferdam part (140) formed integrally with the suction fixing part (120), and a cover (180) detachably coupled to the suction fixing part (120).

[0016] The suction fixing part (120) comprises a plate part (121) and a fixed wall part (130) formed by extending downward from the plate part (121). Inside the suction fixing part (120), a suction space (120a) is formed by the plate part (121) and the fixed wall part (130).

[0017] The plate portion (121) is generally in the shape of a flat disc and is arranged horizontally. A work passage (123) and an inflow / outflow passage (125) are formed in the plate portion (121).
