ABSTRACT:
A bottom supporting construction for a leg end of a displaceable jack-up platform including a block-shaped leg end part and a supporting element which can be positioned and anchored on a bottom under water and which is provided with a supporting face for a leg end, while a resilient sealing collar, closed upon itself, and a buffer, which in unloaded condition have a height less than that of the sealing collar, are arranged so that when the leg end comes to rest on the supporting element, a space closed off from the environment is formed between that leg end, that sealing collar and the supporting face, and closable discharge is present for enabling water to be discharged from that space. If so desired, upwardly extending support can be arranged on the supporting face, which receive the leg end at least locally with relatively close abutment, so that that support can support the leg end in horizontal direction.
