  • Patent number: 5122010
    Abstract: A relatively light-weight offshore structure with design characteristics that allow it to be installed in a water depth up to two hundred fifty (250') feet with a conventional jack-up drilling rig or a small derrick barge. The structure consists of one (1) vertical pipe column that is driven into the sea floor, which can be used as a conductor for a well and may also support a platform with wellhead deck, production equipment deck, heliport, etc. The vertical column is collar clamped and welded to a submerged support brace assembly. The brace assembly is rigid, light, floats during installation, and is self-uprighting. It consists of two (2) main diagonal support legs that are connected to the vertical column near the water-line, and has two (2) pile connection sleeves at its base for piles to be driven into the sea floor. The support piling may be pre-loaded into the support brace assembly for ease of offshore installation.
