Study and Checking of Adequacy of Pinion Stiffness for Jacking Systems of Self Elevating Units during the Conversion JobsBy Bh. Nagesh, I.N. Niranjan Kumar, N. Madhu Latha
Abstract: Jacking systems are used to elevate and lower the hull of self-elevating units in the elevated condition and to raise and lower the legs in the floating condition. In one of a conversion job of a Jack-up Rig from MODU to MOPU, which has been considered here as a case study, in which during conversion it has been identified that the inadequacy of the pinion stiffness could be one of …
