SELF-LIFTING MOBILE ICE-RESISTANT DRILLING PLATFORM OF TELESCOPIC TYPE AND METHOD OF ITS TRANSPORTATION, ASSEMBLY AND DISMANTLING Russian patent published in 2012 - IPC E02B17/02 B63B35/44 

FIELD: construction.

SUBSTANCE: invention relates to hydraulic engineering construction of structures and may be used for year-round drilling under conditions of the Arctic shelf. The platform comprises a bottom ballasted plate with an inbuilt support unit and a superstructure. The bottom plate is made in the form of an upper part, a lower part and a sliding sectional support unit of telescopic type. The support unit comprises telescopic sections that are separated at the installation point with a sliding mechanism. Telescopic sections, the sliding mechanism and all required auxiliary devices are installed in sluice compartments. All telescopic sections are of identical height, cylindrical or prismatic shape, and comprise guide slots on the inner and outer surface. Inner and outer cuts of the sections are selected for each other so that arrangement of sections is provided within each other with a gap sufficient for sliding and sealing of sections along the section guides relative to each other, in accordance with the telescope principle. The lower section's cut is larger than the upper one's. Sections of the support unit are arranged in a reinforced ice version. The invention also discloses methods of transportation, assembly and disassembly of a self-lifting mobile ice-resistant drilling platform of telescopic type.

EFFECT: increased reliability of a platform, lower labour intensiveness of methods of its transportation, assembly and dismantling.
