What we have described is for a jacket platform, but the manufacture, assembly and floating or sinking process for an offshore platform varies depending on the kind of platform.

But we’re talking about gigantic structures, with great weight and height, and operating with them is a huge challenge. Next, we must build the platform deck with all the machinery, which is transported the same way and assembled with the jacket on-site.

This shell is transported with a barge to the desired location, and then fixed with pilings, extraordinarily long stakes driven into the seabed. In broad strokes, manufacture begins with a steel tube skeleton, known as a jacket. But how did these gigantic works of engineering make it to the middle of the ocean? And how do they remain standing in the midst of moving water? Let’s take a look at how an offshore platform is built, and what the different types are. We all know offshore platforms, sea terminals located in deep water so that ships can access fuel reserves in inaccessible areas.
