Abstract[English]
The invention provides a method for seafastening a wind turbine component, the method comprising - providing a seafastening flange (301) on a deck of a marine surface vessel, - positioning a component flange (1401) of a wind turbine component adjacent to the seafastening flange (301), so that a plurality of through holes (302) in the seafastening flange are positioned so as to be aligned with a plurality of through holes (1402) in the component flange, - positioning a bolt supporting device (303) so as to be supported by a device supporting arrangement (304) which is fixed in relation to the seafastening flange, so that one or more downwardly facing contact surfaces (305) of the bolt supporting device are left exposed, and so that a plurality of bolt receiving positions on the bolt supporting device are located below the seafastening flange, - positioning a plurality of bolts (306) on the bolt receiving positions on the bolt supporting device (303), - operating one or more actuators (307) so as to come into contact with respective ones of the contact surfaces (305) of the supported bolt supporting device (303), and so as to lift the bolt supporting device away from the support of the device supporting arrangement (304) so as for the bolts (306) supported by the bolt supporting device to penetrate respective ones of the through holes (302, 1402) in the seafastening flange (301) and in the component flange (1401).[French]
L'invention concerne un procédé de saisissage d'un composant d'éolienne. Ledit procédé comprend la fourniture d'une bride d'astreinte (301) sur un pont d'un navire de surface marine ; le positionnement d'une bride de composant (1401) d'un composant d'éolienne adjacent à la bride d'astreinte (301), de telle sorte qu'une pluralité de trous traversants (302) dans la bride d'astreinte soient positionnés de manière à être alignés avec une pluralité de trous traversants (1402) dans la bride de composant ; le positionnement d'un dispositif de support de boulon (303) de manière à être supporté par un agencement de support de dispositif (304) qui est fixe par rapport à la bride d'astreinte, de telle sorte qu'une ou plusieurs surfaces de contact orientées vers le bas (305) du dispositif de support de boulon sont laissées exposées ; le positionnement d'une pluralité de boulons (306) sur les positions de réception de boulon sur le dispositif de support de boulon (303) ; la mise en fonctionnement d'un ou de plusieurs actionneurs (307) de façon à venir en contact avec des surfaces de contact respectives des surfaces de contact (305) du dispositif de support de boulon supporté (303), et de façon à soulever le dispositif de support de boulon à l'opposé du support de l'agencement de support de dispositif (304) de façon à ce que les boulons (306) supportés par le dispositif de support de boulon pénètrent respectivement dans les trous traversants (302, 1402) dans la bride de collage (301) et dans la bride de composant (1401).
