ABSTRACT:
A floating platform assembly designed to provide a stable work surface within cylindrical, vertically upward closed vessels which have axially centered obstructions and limited entry space and which vessels are partially filled with a liquid. The platform floats on a plurality of pontoons and includes an annular platform on which persons inspecting the interior of the vessel can stand. The annular configuration of the platform allows it to be assembled within the vessel around the central obstruction. The platform is modular and is assembled in the vessel from a plurality of identical sections. After the inspection of the vessel interior, the platform is disassembled and removed from the vessel through the limited entry space.
