| 摘要 |
This invention provides a method for constructing an offshore platform by mating a self-floating deck structure with a self-floating substructure. The self-floating deck structure may be a floating pier or barge, on which the desired equipment has been mounted. Mating is achieved by at least partially submerging the substructure, positioning the pier or barge above it, and deballasting the substructure to create a vertical bearing force between the substructure and the pier or barge. Horizontal force may be transmitted between the deck and substructure by a variety of mechanical, structural, and magnetic means.
