Patent ID: 8801331

Claim:
A method for erecting a tidal power plant, the tidal power plant including a turbine which revolves on a carrying element, and a foundation structure on which the carrying element rests on at least one coupling apparatus, with an upper part of the coupling apparatus which is part of the carrying element being in operative connection in the mounted state with a bottom part of the coupling apparatus which is part of the foundation structure, the method comprising: erecting the foundation structure with the bottom part of the coupling apparatus at the place of installation of the tidal power plant; measuring the orientation of the bottom part of the coupling apparatus; individual adjustment of the carrying element with the upper part of the coupling apparatus in its entirety to the measured orientation of the bottom part of the coupling apparatus, and setting down the carrying element on the foundation structure and producing an operative connection between the upper part of the coupling apparatus and the bottom part of the coupling apparatus; wherein the carrying element comprises a first partial component and a second partial component which are spaced from the upper part of the coupling apparatus and are oriented relative to one another for individual adjustment of the carrying element in such a way that their longitudinal axes assume a predetermined relative angle, with the coupling apparatus comprising an anti-rotation device for fixing the angular position of the upper part relative to the bottom part relating to a rotational axis of the coupling apparatus, and wherein the connection of the first partial component with the second partial component of the carrying element is arranged as a composite concrete part.
