Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2010019050A1] Foundation (1) for an offshore wind turbine generator, preferably for sea depth above (45) metre, and a method of constructing and installing the foundation (1). The foundation (1) in the construction, transport and installation phases is a self floating and stabile construction of reinforced concrete comprising: - a foundation structure (5), - a hollow, substantially conical tower structure (15) ()arranged on the foundation structure (5) and having a lower external diameter less than the smallest transversal dimension of the foundation structure, since the diameter of the tower structure gradually decreases upwards toward the upper portion (20) of the tower structure.
