BOLTED JOINT OF AN OFFSHORE STRUCTURE
The invention refers to a bolted joint of an offshore structure comprising first and second connecting elements, wherein the first connecting element forms part of an offshore tower or an offshore platform and the second connecting element forms part of a foundation structure. The first connecting element comprises a first flange and the second connecting element comprises a second flange, wherein the first and second flanges abut each other with through holes in alignment. One of the first and second connecting elements comprises an outer peripheral skirt covering a butt joint between the first and second flanges and defining an outer annular space surrounding the butt joint. One of the first and second connecting elements comprises a peripheral collar, the skirt and the collar confining the annular space, the sealing element being a compressible sealing element sandwiched between the skirt and the collar.
