ABSTRACT:
A method of assembling a floatation unit wherein the unit is formed of a monolithic cell including a plurality of support rods passing therethrough to support the framework of a floating structure. The supporting rods are installed after the sealed unit is formed, by threading the elongated rods from one side to the other of the cell walls. This is accomplished by use of a guide rod, a threaded support rod which is threaded between oppositely disposed, bushing members adapted to receive the support rod. The guide rod is first passed through opposing bushings engaging the support rod as it is fed back through the bushing members, the guide rod providing a means by which the support rod can freely enter the oppositely disposed, bushing member positioned within the sealed wall of the cell.
