In the afternoon of Dec. 19, agenerator of the first jack-up project H1288 was lifted onto the place. It means that we have achieved the breakthrough progress on completing the intergration of the main deck of the H1288 project on schedule.
The Launchings of H1288 and H1318 are upcoming, and Keel Laying of H1289 is approaching. While we are expecting the Spring Festival of 2013, the construction climax of offshore rigs is coming one after another. Under the joint efforts of the whole company, for H1288 project, the intermediatedeck has realized the integration, the 6 P-tanks, 2 air conditioning units and other key equipments have been battened down, the first block of jackcase---Block 380 is under mechanical process, the first block of lower jackcase---Block 351 has realized the erection in drydock, and Block 302/322 of the legshave realized the grand assembly. For H1318 project, the construction has entered into the "Fast Track", the painting of leg well has been completed and the assembly of leg wellstarted, the construction of double bottom has entered into erection stage, the blocks of intermediate deck have stepped into the pre-outfitting stage, and the main deck has started the assembly.
In addition, for the construction quality, in view of the high quality requirements of welding for leg, jackcase and cantilever, the wide range of manual welding and complete-penetration welding, the long construction term and the difficulties to control the accuracy of blocks, all departments actively discussed and researched, and overcame many problems of production technology, and have laid a solid foundation for the completion of the key milestone of the project.
