Brief Introduction of Offshore Engineering Jack-up Platform Ursula Offshore engineering jack-up platform Ursula , imported from Germany , is a versatile offshore engineering facility capable of pile driving, lifting and rock coring. With its four hydro-pneumatic jack-up legs, the platform can lift the operation platform clear of the water, so that normal operations can be conducted in water depths of up to 27 meters, with waves up to 2m high, a maximal wind speed of 15 m/s (equivalent to Beaufort force 7, or Near Gale), and a maximal tidal difference of 4m. As a result, offshore operations can be conducted above the influence of winds, waves and tides. Its unique features make it indispensably suitable for offshore piling, installation and pile boring in deep offshore waters, which can not be conducted by normal pile driving barges that are vulnerable to winds and waves.
Currently, more and more harbors in China are becoming deeper, further away from the coast, with larger berths, and with more pile foundations. Accordingly, the structures of these harbor are also becoming larger, more inclined and deeper. Ursula will sure meet the requirements of these constructions. Up to now, so such offshore jack-up engineering platforms are employed by domestic waterway engineering companies. And the introduction of Ursula will surely open up a niche market to accommodate the demands of China 's construction of costal harbors and sea bridges.
