A floating base (22) for a building, the base (22) comprising at least one buoyant basement unit (30) defining a basement level, and a reinforced concrete transfer slab (32) atop the or each basement unit (30). The basement level provides habitable or functional space for the building, and the transfer slab (32) has at least one access opening giving access to the basement level. Preferably, the base comprises at least two buoyant basement units, wherein each of the basement units is independently buoyant for assembly with at least one other basement unit during construction of the base, said basement units thereby assuming a final position in which said units are closely adjacent or in contact to define a basement level comprising two or more of said units. The invention also extends to a method for constructing a floating base for a building, and a method for launching a buoyant basement unit.

L'invention porte sur une base flottante pour un bâtiment, la base comprenant au moins une unité de cave flottante définissant un niveau de cave, et une dalle de transfert en béton armé au-dessus de la ou de chaque unité de cave. Le niveau de cave fournit un espace habitable fonctionnel pour le bâtiment, et la dalle de transfert comporte au moins une ouverture d'accès permettant un accès au niveau de cave. De préférence, la base comprend au moins deux unités de cave flottantes, chacune des unités de cave étant indépendamment flottante pour un assemblage avec une autre unité de cave durant la construction de la base, lesdites unités de cave prenant ainsi une position finale dans laquelle lesdites unités sont étroitement adjacentes ou en contact pour définir un niveau de cave comprenant au moins deux desdites unités. L'invention porte également sur un procédé pour construire une base flottante pour un bâtiment, et sur un procédé pour lancer une unité de cave flottante.
