METHOD OF CONSTRUCTING PROCESS PLATFORMS Russian patent published in 2009 - IPC E02B17/00 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: present invention pertains to construction and operation of sea process platforms with a wide range of ambient conditions and properties of sea floors as well as a wide range of depth. When constructing sea process platforms, a base-plate is fitted onto the sea floor. On the base-plate, a supporting frame is fitted, with a horizontal platform, and on the latter, a semi-submerged module with process equipment is fitted. The base-plate is joined to the stiff bottom by cemented piling. The supporting frame is joined to the base-plate by tension ties and corresponding tightening devices. Inside the supporting structure, there is a hole with estuarine connectors. The supporting frame is in form of girders, made from several modules, which are rigidly joined together, to the base plate and the platform through quick release couplings and tension ties with tightening devices.

EFFECT: increased cost-effectiveness of the method of constructing sea process platforms due to unification of modules of the supporting frame and their structural simplicity with the required reliability.
