An off-shore deep water marine platform including on each platform leg one or more piling sleeves each intended to receive a piling driven through the sleeves into the bottom of the sea and the sleeves subsequently being secured to the driven piling by cement pumped into the annulus between each piling and its sleeve while the annulus is sealed by inflatable packer means, the improvement comprising improved packer inflating means including flexible lines extending to each packer from a protective access manifold on the platform deck, and these lines being clustered together and run down to the packers through rigid protective pipe including main protector pipes coupled to the manifolds and containing one or more flexible lines and extending down to branch protector pipes extending out from main protector pipes to particular packer locations and containing only the flexible line going to one such packer, and the protector pipes themselves being mounted so as to be protected by the marine platform structure.
