Somewhere in the galaxy a long long time ago, a little man made a drawing of this colossal structure and somewhere else, somebody looked at this drawing and built it, possibly remembering to note any changes he made in construction............Then a millennium later they needed it moving,...... looking at the drawings, now decades old, the now knew what they could do, because it had been properly designed and supposedly built to plan. (Noting the changes made during construction) .........now build the transport vessel and wait for good weather........Top marks for all those involved this is a result worthy of note, we should all be mightily impressed.
This is really amazing. I used to work on anchor handling vessels with Wijsmuller and Smit Lloyd and did a lot of times in the Brentfield. I allways wondered what would happen with the platforms once they stopped producing gas and oil. Incredible what humans can fix.
First platform I ever worked on in the north sea, sadly the day after a worker committed suicide after jumping off the helideck with weights in his pockets..
Quite impressive to see this. Spent many a 2 week trip on this rust bucket over a span of 20 years as a sub contractor. The smell of H2S and Glycol i will never forget. RIP BD
@@More_Row Well the work entirely depends on the job of course. You would be surprised how many different professions are involved to run a big rig like this. As for the moral...hmm I will be brutally honest here and say that most people were miserable working on these rigs. Especially the long standing core crew. You had to have a bit of a thick skin to absorb the waves of daily dark sarcasm. The health and safety protocols i think contributed to this. You could barely go to the toilet without having to fill in a permit and a risk assessment. All that got ramped up after the Piper Alpha Disaster. Sorry if this is a glass half empty answer. It's just my experience. If you was to ask anyone on these rigs if they would rather work onshore 99.99 percent would take it in a heartbeat.
RoguePenguinScotland Gotcha, well I was looking for a proper answer so this fits the bill. The pay is good but it seems like it’s a pretty extreme work environment . I’ve heard the Norwegian rigs are decent to be on at least for a while. Thanks for answering earnestly. And indeed I’m not a very thick skinned kind of dude under the facade so it doesn’t sound all that pleasant. And just to be clear, the last part. If you asked offshore workers on these rigs If they’d rather be in a less payed position on land 99,99 % would say they’d rather work on land?
@@More_Row You get into a routine. I worked on all the Brents, Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta. These were def NOT pleasant to work on. In fact this was the very last North Sea Rig i worked on back in 2006 or so. I said to myself i can't do this anymore. In the winter if you had an external job you would know the meaning of cold for sure. And yes the Norwegian rigs and Newer Rigs were far more pleasant to work on indeed. Better budgets better food and accommodation etc.. There was something about the Brents that was akin to the "Hotel from the Shining" and i am not exaggerating.
Do they have to remove the platforms when done? Is it part of regulation or law? I find it hard to believe it's worth it considering the cost of that ship that does the initial removal. It's more like a small town. And I wonder how many times it will be used. Great video.
The yokes are all custom made to fit with the specific platform? So they can actually be once used.? How are the yokes connected with the platform? I do not see bolts or so.
Don't bother the world is moving to electrician. Also they won't hire you. Look how dumb you are asking for jobs in a RU-vid comment section. Don't you have a linkden or something. Don't you have google to search for jobs.
