ABSTRACT:
The system consists in producing an underwater foundation (1) in the appropriate place, close to the dam (2), in the vertical line of said foundation (1) producing a floating platform (4), with buoyancy that can be regulated, and on this platform (4) proceeding with the manufacture of the tower (6-7), by means of a continuous concreting process, up to the moment when said tower is capable of floating alone, given its hollow nature, at which moment the floating platform (4) can be removed and from which time the tower becomes increasingly submerged in step with the increase in the length of its shaft (7), by means of supplying water (8) to its inside, until the said tower is totally finished, at which moment it is positioned by means of a greater supply of water which may be removed if it is necessary to correct errors in positioning, and after said definitive positioning the tower is also definitively ballasted or rendered stationary, the control and command elements for the gates or valves for the various intake points and for discharge being produced therein, the windows or orifices of which have been protected by means of protective shields during production and assembly of the tower.
