In addition, Lloyd's Register Industrial Services is inspecting steelwork for the plat- form during manufacture in Japan, Federal Germany and France and surveying site fabrication and assembly at two main sites in Scotland and France. The platform jacket is of tubular steel lattice construction with four main legs. It measures 500 feet in height by 200 feet square at the base. When the platform is floated out to the Piper Field on a flat- bottomed barge, it will be the largest sea structure ever installed in this manner. The construction of this platform is an international operation. The key role of assembling the parts for the platform is being carried out at the Ardersier, Scotland, site of McDermott (Scotland) who are fabricating and erect- ing the lower 220 feet of the platform, in- cluding sections shipped from Japan. They will also complete the attachment of the upper 280-foot section of the platform when this is received from France, and will load out the completed 12,500-ton platform jack- et later this year for installation in 474 feet of water.
