GENERAL GUIDANCE FOR DESIGN AND CONSTRUCTION OF GRAVITY PLATFORMS
Journal Title: ASIAN JOURNAL OF NATURAL & APPLIED SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
Among the different types of offshore platforms which are mainly categorized according to waterdepth of the installation location, the gravity platforms have different type of construction and installation. The platforms are generally made of steel, built onshore, and then transported to the installation locations. For some cases of sea waterdepths and aggressive environments like the condition of the North Sea, the heaviest type of platform, called gravity platform, having enormous mass, is used. Gravity platforms have their own special requirements and fabrication/installation procedures. They need special types of construction materials to resist the environmental conditions imposed by the aggressive environmental loads. The construction, transportation, installation and the operation processes, kinds and specifications of used materials in the gravity platforms are presented in this paper.
