About this document
Topsides Installation for Semi-Submersibles by Srinivasan Rajenderan is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document discusses various options for topsides installation on semi-submersible floating production systems: float over, heavy lift, skidding, and TAISUN. Float over involves mating topsides to the hull by ballasting/deballasting after the hull is submerged and topsides loaded onto a barge. It is proven but complex and risky, with damage stability requiring many compartments. Heavy lift limits lifting to around 12,000 tons and requires an expensive, narrow installation window. Skidding involves jackin
