METHOD FOR MARINE PLATFORM PANELS INSTALLATION IN VERTICAL POSITION Russian patent published in 2006 - IPC E02B17/00 

FIELD: oil production, particularly marine oil production hydraulic structures, namely stationary marine platforms.

SUBSTANCE: method involves installing one longitudinal tubular member on rotary supports; rotating panel with the use of a number of movable climbing cranes; connecting boom of each climbing crane with corresponding panel members by cords; performing programmed serial straight-line climbing crane motion and panel lifting operations. The rotary supports are made as bodies pivotally connected with lodgment by rotary link. End parts of longitudinal tubular members are installed on the lodgment near minor panel base and connected one with another by weld connection. Movable climbing cranes booms are connected one with another by cords at opposite panel base. Movable climbing crane boom extends obliquely to climbing crane movement direction and the climbing crane is moved in parallel to longitudinal panel axis along trajectory so that climbing crane body is located out of panel projection in plane view in any panel lifting point.

EFFECT: reduced labor inputs and increased quality and safety of work to be performed.
