Offshore Access: Adriatic IX Triangular Platform

Gulf of Mexico

Contractor:  Resource Rig Supply, Inc – Houston, TX

Project Scope

Provide complete access for maneuvering up and down the interior and exterior of a 400 ft (121.9 m) jack up
leg on the Adriatic IX offshore drilling rig for offshore repair, blasting and painting. 

Challenges

• Confined areas inside and outside of the legs that support the hull of the rig.

• No other means to safely access while keeping the rig in operation.

Solution

Spider engineers designed a custom triangular platform to meet the structural needs for the rig’s interior. A straight platform was used for the exterior.
