Seriously though. Excellent pics Angus. I had no idea they were built like this these days. Actually I always thought they were built in a dry dock then towed out to sea by a couple of frikkin huge barges.
Everything is done onshore now and working before it sails , all they have to do is join it all together connect the cables /pipes /fire and gas systems between the modules commission it and press the go button .
The Jacket (leg structures) are secured by 20m long x 5m dia pins hammered into the sea bed ...pile driven ...4-5 each corner, on each leg
Basically the same as any prefab McDonalds restaurant then. Except you don't see many McDonald's restaurants anchored to the sea bed.quote:Originally posted by X30YES

As Angus says modular build is common for this type of thing nowadays, Im doing some work on a project for a new aircraft carrier - unfortunately none of the shipyards left in the UK is big enough to handle it - so its being constructed on 6 different sites, and assembled later - last time I built an aircraft carrier it was an airfix kit, I reckon this is going to be pretty similar - the glue coming out of all the joins and the transfers all on squint or curled up.
