PART I - THE BASIC PLATFORM
1-01 DESCRIPTION
The Platform shall consist of a welded steel hull roughly triangularly shaped in plan and
equipped with three (3) legs. Each leg shall have a bearing type footing which can be
lowered to the bottom and on which the hull can elevate itself above the water's surface.
Elevating and lowering the legs and/or the hull is accomplished by a LeTourneau electro-
mechanical rack and pinion elevating system. Power for the electric motors of this
system is obtained from the Owner-furnished diesel electric generators installed on the
platform. The crew accommodation house is located on the main deck to the sides and
aft of the forward leg.
Two (2) longitudinal cantilever beams are located on the main deck aft of the
accommodation house, and are spaced 30 feet on either side of the hull centerline. These
beams can be moved in a longitudinal direction by means of a LeTourneau electro-
mechanical rack & pinion skidding system to enable the drilling structure to be
cantilevered over the stern of the Platform when elevated. The structure supporting the
derrick and drill floor is mounted on the aft end of the cantilever beams. An additional
LeTourneau skidding system permit the substructure/drill floor to be moved transversely
15 feet either side of hull centerline. Longitudinal skidding of the subbase, independent
of the cantilever beams, is also provided by a LeTourneau skidding system.

Maximum storm elevated weight of:
1) Severe Storm 25,200 kips
2) Drilling 29,700 kips
3) Preload 47,640 kips
Storms assume that cantilever is extended 30 ft aft of transom, except for Storms
S3x = cantilever stowed w/ rotary 20 ft fwd. of transom.
Rig loading is managed to achieve equal weight reactions on each leg.
Water depth includes all tides (both astronomical and storm surge)
Air gap is measured from still water level (SWL) to underside of hull
Wind velocity is based on 1-minute mean at 10 meters above SWL
Wave height denotes maximum wave height, (Hmax)
“P” denotes Storms with pinned foundation; and “F” with fixity.
Note: Owner changes that impact the overall projected area and windage of the Platform (i.e.
increased quarters, helideck, derrick, leg length etc.) could result in a decrease in
allowable environmental conditions. Derrick size is assumed at 36’ x 36’ x 175’.
2-02 LIMITATIONS
The maximum water depth, including tides, as stated in table 1-2.1 above, assumes a given
leg penetration.
2. Any decrease in penetration may not increase the maximum allowable water
depth.
Approval for a specific site may be subject to an independent site assessment per
SNAME T&R Bulletin 5-5 and 5-5A.
Page 27 of 155
2-03 ACCIDENTAL LOADS
In the elevated drilling condition, the Platform will be designed to withstand the theoretical
impact on the leg due to a collision of a 5,000 tonne supply vessel traveling at 2 m/s as
assessed per DNV Guidance Notes.
The Builder shall supply an impact load-rated drill floor (Ref: Part II, Sec. 4-04).
The design atmospheric service temperature for this Platform is -20°C (-4°F). The design
seawater temperature is 0°C (32°F), with no ice. The service temperature of -20°C (-4°F)
shall be used for steel selection in accordance with the Classification Rules. Internal
structures adjacent to decks are to have the same service temperature as the deck. Internal
structure in permanently heated rooms will be designed for 0°C (32º F). Spud can steel will
be designed for -2°C (28°F) due to immersion underwater during normal usage, however,
material selection is based on 0°C (32°F) as per Classification Rules.
The Platform will have the capability of normal elevating and lowering (normal elevating
load) and holding in a severe storm condition evenly distributed between the three (3) legs
as defined by Storm Mode in Table 1-2.3. The maximum elevating load is the sum of the
basic, stationary fixed, moveable fixed and variable load as defined by Normal Elevating
Mode column in Table 1-2.3.
During preloading operations, the Platform can be intermittently elevated with a maximum
total elevating load as defined by Preload Elevating Mode in Table 1-2.3 evenly distributed
between the three (3) legs. Maximum holding capacity during preload operation is defined
by Preload Mode in Table 1-2.3 evenly distributed between the three (3) legs.
With the hull elevated in the normal drilling mode and the cantilever assembly extended in
a drilling position, the Platform will have the capability of holding the maximum elevated
weight as described and limited in the Operating Manual. Under no condition is the total
elevated weight to exceed the limitation defined in Table 1-2.3 or any individual vertical
leg reaction to exceed the preloaded value or load limit stated in the Operating Manual.
Typical weight allocations for this class platform are given in Table 1-2.3.

2-06 AFLOAT LOAD CAPACITY
At the load-line draft assigned by the cognizant regulatory agency, the Platform will have
the capability of supporting the combined hull, leg, basic, fixed and variable weights with
the legs estimated position below hull base line (TOC) as stated.
Maximum setback load under Normal Transit is limited by Owner’s final derrick
selection and Warranty Surveyor approval of tie down, but shall be limited to a maximum
of 300 kips and shall be limited to field moves only. No setback is allowed in Severe
Storm conditions.
Dry Tow: Limitations of pitch, roll, yaw, surge, sway and heave motion, weight and KG
depend on the dry tow vessel’s characteristics and motions. Allowable leg length during a
dry tow is subject to Warranty Surveyor criteria and approval.
Includes the hull steel, elevating gear units, guides and brace beam, hatches, watertight
doors, manholes, ladders, handrails, breakwater, bilge and eductor system, preload fills and
dumps, fire main system, tank vents and sounding tubes, aids-to-navigation, lighting,
elevating unit controls and wiring, mud pit structure, cantilever skid pads, holddowns,
pushups and skidder system, bollards, cleats and basic hull paint and tank coating. Legs
and spud cans are also a Basic Load, but are accounted for as a separate line item because
they are moveable and not a part of the Elevated Load.
Includes all items of outfit not included in the Basic Load of the Platform, such as cranes,
quarters structure, shaker house, helideck, anchor winches and fairleaders, sea water
caissons, lifesaving equipment, HVAC systems, piping and electrical systems, pipe racks
structure, all drilling equipment (except that on the movable Cantilever Assembly),
engines, generators and controls, pumps, compressors, and other such equipment
permanently attached to and stationary on the drilling Platform. All fluids in equipment at
normal operating levels such as lubricants and coolants are included; however, drilling
fluids are not included and are considered part of Variable Load.
Page 30 of 155
2-09 CANTILEVER ASSEMBLY / MOVEABLE FIXED LOAD
This load consists of the cantilever beams, elevated pipe rack, subbase, BOP Storage and
other platforms, drag chain, “cellar floor” (all movable fore-and-aft) and substructure, drill
floor, windbreak, derrick and associated drilling equipment (all movable fore-and-aft and
transverse).
BOP stacks, tools, drilling fluids and brake cooling water are not included and are
considered part of Variable Load.
Variable loads consist of supplies or equipment that are expendable, readily removable,
or consumable during operations. This includes items such as drilling fluids not limited to
active liquid mud and cement, bulk mud, bulk cement, chemicals, brine, base oil and fuel
oil, fresh water, drill water, lube oil, waste oil, day tank liquids, brake cooling tank water,
waste containment, residual preload water, BOP’s, movable BOP access platform, drive
pipe support, logging units, well test equipment, tubulars, bits, tools, spares, stores, crew
and effects, etc. During drilling operation, Variable Load includes Supplementary Variable
and Drilling Loads.
An additional variable load of 1,500 kips (680 mt) is allowed for Normal Elevated
Operations after preloading the Platform. Supplementary Variable must be removed in
preparation for Afloat or Elevated Storm Conditions. The operation limitations will be
described in the Operating Manual.
Drilling loads are comprised of the combination of hook, rotary, setback and conductor
tension loads along with any tools, stores, BOP's, trip tank contents, drilling fluids, cooling
water and hydraulic fluids on the Cantilever Assembly. Under normal operations it may be
necessary to adjust the Variable Load distribution to achieve the required weight
distribution; this will be addressed in the Operating Manual. Pipe setback in the derrick
may remain so during elevated storm condition subject to the cantilever, subbase and
substructure skidding limitations defined in the Operating Manual and the derrick’s
structural capacity defined by the derrick manufacturer.
1. Hook Load - Force acting through the derrick. This includes the weight of the
drill string and any applied tension.
3. Setback Load - Weight of the tubulars stored in the derrick set back areas.
Page 31 of 155
4. Conductor Tension / Drive Pipe Support Load - The vertical tension imposed on
the Cantilever Assembly in order to support the Conductor/Drive Pipe and BOP
assembly.
The maximum elevated Variable Load capacity is a function of the allowable elevated
weight in conjunction with the maximum environmental limits and other design
constraints.
Therefore, increases in Hull Steel, Basic Load, Stationary Fixed Load and/or
Cantilever Assembly Load which are caused by Builder material substitutions and/or
Owner's rearrangements, additions to the platform, rule changes, certifying authority
requirements, etc., will result in a reduction of Variable Load capacity. Conversely,
any decrease in Hull Steel, Basic Load and/or Fixed Load will result in increased
Variable Load capacity.
2-14 PRELOAD
The following is a categorized list of Basic, Fixed and Variable Load items typically
found on a Self-Elevating MODU. Note that equipment located on the Cantilever
Assembly is considered "Moveable Fixed Load". The purpose of the list is to indicate, in
more detail than the above paragraphs, the categories into which numerous items of
equipment are normally assigned. It is not intended to be all-inclusive.

near the bottom of the spud can. A leg jetting system shall be provided.
The internal center tube, bulkheads/frame and external bulkheads in line with the leg
chords, which form the main supporting elements of the footing, are considered primary
structure for material selection purposes. The potential of hydrogen induced cracking of
high-strength steels must be considered in way of chord-to-spud can connections and
inside the spud can. The center tube structure of the spud can, from forged tip to trunk
including non-tight hatch, is provided by Letourneau as a Kit item.
All leg structural components are Classed as Primary structure and shall be LeTourneau
specified and furnished as Kit items of steel quality as follows:
All rack and chord butt welds are to be 100% volumetric ultrasonic tested to ABS Class
A, herein (“UT”). Random x-ray may be performed as agreed between Builder, Owner
and Classification Society. All bracing butt joints are to be 100% magnetic particle tested
to latest AWS D1.1, herein (“MT”) plus UT tested to 100% for all manual welding or
20% for all automatic and semi-automatic welding. All bracing "TKY" connections are to
be tested to 100% MT and 40% UT; this UT testing may reduced to 20% UT upon
documentation of successful welding performance. Consideration for alternative criteria
will be made in pipe-to-pipe heel connections, per drawings.
The hollow chord and bracing sections are to be watertight throughout as proven by UT
and MT inspection. Welding and repair procedures shall be developed by Builder. The
potential of hydrogen induced cracking of high-strength steels must be considered in way
of chord-to-spud can connections and inside the spud can. The completed leg assemblies
shall be true to dimension within ± 1/4" (6 mm) pitch-line to pitch-line horizontal
dimension and within 1/2" (13 mm) over 50 ft. (15 m) of true vertical. The spud leg rack
post structure shall be carefully aligned to maintain accurate rack tooth pitch of ± 1/16"
(1.5 mm), throughout the entire length of leg. Alignment of the horizontal tubulars at the
center node disc plate (“dollar plates”) shall be within 1/4 t, where "t" is the wall
thickness of the tubular.
Leg sections will be complete with pre-welded timing bolt blocks, “dollar plates”, lifting
lugs, etc. Pre installed leg sections shall be fabricated by Builder in a final coat painted
condition, and Builder shall be responsible for setting and welding the leg sections into
complete legs in a straight manner to the satisfaction of Builder and Classification
Society. Builder shall be responsible for developing welding and inspection procedures to
the satisfaction of Designer and Classification Society; these procedures shall be based on
Builder supplied welding and inspection procedures for the material and application.
Builder is to adhere to the procedures during all phases of the leg erection. Builder shall
Page 40 of 155
be responsible for painting areas of all weld joint connections including blast or
mechanical clean, prime and paint of chord joint “windows”, bracing knuckle joints and
areas requiring touch-up from construction / erection scrapes or damage using the same
paint and application as original.
All Builder supplied dollies, water tower guides and piping for jetting, flooding and
eductor systems shall be securely attached to the bracing members of the legs in a manner
approved by the Designer.
Legs and spud cans shall be protected with sacrificial anodes. Anodes mounted on leg
bracing shall be positioned to minimize drag in the horizontal direction; i.e shielded by
bracing in the horizontal plane. Builder shall install and Owner shall provide anodes.
A leg tow stabilizer / wedging system in not part of this specification. A stabilizer system
may be requested by Change Order as an option at a later date. Such stabilizer would be
provided at each chord of each leg to serve to engage with a thicken rack region, in order
to minimize lateral movement of the leg when in the tow positions as specified in the
Operating Manual.
Open construction ladders made up of flat bar risers and square bar rungs will be
installed and left in place in each corner of each leg. Builder shall pre-install construction
ladders in the leg sections. These ladders are not caged and are not provided as a primary
means of escape from the rig or for any other purpose other than erection of leg sections.
Builder shall pre-install Leg Depth numbers and bars on the leg chord assemblies,
denoting distance above bottom point of spud cans (“TOC”). Numbers shall be provided

each of the Port and Starboard legs per the Contract Plans. One (1) raw water hose reel
shall be installed at the Port leg to connect to a leg-mounted pump retained by dolly
guide.
Page 42 of 155
SECTION 6 - ELEVATING SYSTEM
Power for elevating shall be developed by 600-volt, 3-phase, 60-Hertz AC current from
the main generator power bus.
The hull shall be elevated, lowered and supported on the legs by 600-volt AC LeTourneau
electro-mechanical elevating units. Four (4) LeTourneau 440-Kip Opposed Pinion
Elevating Units shall be provided per leg, each having six (6) ¼ pitch output pinions for a
total of 72 pinions. The output pinion, secondary gear trains, primary gear boxes, electric
motors, brake assemblies and case structure with integral upper leg guides shall be
complete units designed and built by LeTourneau to a specification approved by the
Classification Society. Elevating units shall be single speed and be capable of raising and
lowering the hull at approximately 1.5 feet per minute (0.45 m/min.). Each Elevating Unit
assembly shall be installed in the leg well by Builder with jigs to maintain leg-to-guide
tolerance. Tolerances shall be verified during installation and after final weld-up. Builder
is to seal cable penetrations to retain oil and weathertightness. The electric motors shall be
equipped with spring loaded dry-plate multi-disk brakes to hold the hull or legs in
position when the motors are not in operation. When the elevation circuits are energized,
solenoids compress the springs, releasing the brakes, allowing elevating unit operation.
When the electrical circuit is interrupted, intentionally or by accident, spring pressure
applied to the disc brake system holds the hull or legs in place.
Page 43 of 155
6-03 ELEVATION SWITCHBOARD
LeTourneau shall supply an Elevation Switchboard integrated into OFE switchgear and
approved by Owner. Builder shall install this switchboard in the Generator/VFD control
room. The switchboard shall be connected to the Generator/VFD switchboard or fed from
main 600VAC bus through circuit breakers mounted in the Generator/VFD switchboard.
The Elevation Switchboard shall provide power independent fused power to each leg and
interface with the control console in the jacking control room, dynamic resistor bank and
leg junction boxes. See Part II, Section 15-01 for details.
LeTourneau shall supply a dynamic resistor bank controller and Builder shall integrate
into Emergency Switchboard. LeTourneau shall supply an air-cooled resistor load bank of
approximately 1.2 MW capacity, adequate for absorbing excess power generated during
hull lowering operations. The bank shall be located outside of the living quarters in
proximity to the emergency generator room.
LeTourneau shall supply as Kit and Builder shall install a Master Console for control and
monitoring of the elevating functions. The Master Console shall be located and installed
in the control room located on top of the quarters with visibility of each leg.
The Master Console shall provide control and monitoring of the platform jacking
operation through a PLC based communication system. A SCADA (Supervisory Control
and Data Acquisition) touch screen display interface shall be used for monitoring and
screen operations including fault indication and alarm reset.
The console shall provide system hardwire power on/off key switch, self test lamp button,
"RAISE HULL", "STOP", and "LOWER HULL" control push buttons for each leg, one
"EMERGENCY STOP" switch, and screen display of motor overload, out-of-level
indication, motor gear box oil level monitoring, as well as read outs of leg depth, motor
RPM and leg power (kW). Bubble type ‘x-y’ marine grade inclinometers shall also be
provided. See Part II, Section 15-01 for details.
Pinion Load Monitoring System: An active Pinion Load Monitoring System shall consist
of the display of leg load (in Kips) as integrated and interpolated by the control system
into load from each leg jacking kW power reading. Due to the nature of the ultra-high slip
LeTourneau elevating motor, auto load sharing during jacking is achieved. Because this
LeTourneau design does not incorporate a leg fixation system, the resulting high shear
stiffness leg structure is not sensitive to Rack Phase Differential (RPD) problems. The
measuring of leg chord load differential or RPD is not a design or operational
requirement.
Page 44 of 155
6-06 LEG JUNCTION BOX
Three (3) power distribution boxes and three (3) monitoring I/O boxes shall be provided
by LeTourneau as Kit, one (1) set per each leg, for distribution of power to elevating
