Operating method of a factory for the molding manufacture of precast concrete voussoirs for the construction of wind generator support towers

Abstract

An operating method of a factory for the molding manufacture of precast concrete voussoirs intended for the construction of wind generator support towers by placing the factory in a place of origin in a disassembled state in initial units that are smaller than the voussoirs to be manufactured, taking the initial units to a building site close to the point of delivery of the voussoirs to be manufactured, assembling the factory at the building site starting from the initial units, manufacturing the pertinent voussoirs by means of the factory in the assembled state, disassembling the factory at the building site until the factory is in a disassembled state in final units that are smaller than the manufactured voussoirs, and taking the final units to a place of destination leaving the building site in basically the same conditions as before assembling the factory at the building site.

1 . An operating method of a factory for the molding manufacture of precast concrete voussoirs intended for the construction of wind generator support towers, comprising the steps of:
 placing the factory in a place of origin in a disassembled state in initial units that are smaller than the voussoirs to be manufactured,   taking said initial units to a building site close to the point of delivery of the voussoirs to be manufactured,   assembling the factory at said building site starting from said initial units,   manufacturing the pertinent voussoirs by means of the factory in the assembled state,   disassembling the factory at said building site until the factory is in a disassembled state in final units that are smaller than the manufactured voussoirs, and   taking said final units to a place of destination leaving said building site in basically the same conditions as before assembling the factory at said building site.   
     
     
         2 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said place of destination is said place of origin. 
     
     
         3 . The method according to  claim 1 , wherein said place of destination is another building site. 
     
     
         4 . The method according to  claim 1 , further comprising providing the factory having:
 at least one reinforcing station, with at least one frame, for preparing cages,   at least one concreting station, with at least one steam setting mold including a main mold body, a counter mold and a steam setting canvas, for the application of one of said cages in said mold, the concreting of said mold, the setting of said concrete in said mold and the extraction of the set part (semi-finished voussoir) from said mold,   at least one conditioning station for the finishing of said semi-finished voussoir and/or the application of finishing accessories to said semi-finished voussoir, and   at least one stocking area for the storage of finished voussoirs;   wherein the base of said reinforcing station, said concreting station and said conditioning station comprises a concrete slab formed directly on compacted terrain, without foundations, anchors or the like to the compacted terrain, in that said hoisting means are hoisting means without foundations, in that said mold body is divided into at least two portions attached to one another by fixing means, and in that said counter mold is divided into at least two portions attached to one another by fixing means.   
     
     
         5 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the factory has pre-stressing means, including pre-stressing performance means and pre-stressing tendons. 
     
     
         6 . The method according to  claim 5 , wherein said pre-stressing performance means are arranged in said concreting station in the case of pre-tensioned reinforcement or in said conditioning station in the case of post-tensioned reinforcement. 
     
     
         7 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein all or a portion of said hoisting means without foundations are moveable and/or all or a portion of said concreting means are moveable. 
     
     
         8 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein said hoisting means comprise one or more boom crane trucks and/or one or more gantries on rails and/or one or more gantries on wheels. 
     
     
         9 . The method according to  claim 8 , wherein at least one of said gantries on rails and/or at least one of said gantries on wheels are self-propelled. 
     
     
         10 . The method according to  claim 7 , wherein said concreting means comprise one or more concrete mixer trucks or pieces of concrete distributing equipment, including pumping equipment. 
     
     
         11 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein said concrete slab is formed on site in a single part. 
     
     
         12 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein said concrete slab preferably has a thickness of 15 cm at the least and preferably 25 cm at the most. 
     
     
         13 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the factory further has at least one folding or modular canopy or stationary roof at least partially covering said reinforcing station and/or said concreting station and/or said conditioning station. 
     
     
         14 . The method according to  claim 4 , wherein the factory further has at least one moveable roof at least partially covering said reinforcing station, said concreting station and said conditioning station. 
     
     
         15 . The method according to  claim 14 , wherein said moveable roof slides in the direction of the production line on rails formed directly in said concrete slab and has an extension in the direction of said rails essentially equal to the length of a mold.
