  • Arrangement of platform deck for oil rigs or the like
    Patent number: 4134702
    Abstract: An upper deck structure which contains the equipment necessary for operation of an oil rig is positioned on top of the main deck of the rig, the main deck being supported by vertical pilings or columns. The upper deck is not rigidly connected to the main deck but is held in place by frictional engagement therebetween. Such engagement can be enhanced by the placement of a rubber layer between the two decks. The oil rig is consequently made much lighter in weight and is easier to put together.
