ABSTRACT:
A method for fixedly positioned marine platform held at the ocean floor by piles and the like, having a relatively flat concrete apron disposed about the platform lower end and also supported on the ocean floor. The apron functions to stabilize the platform against lateral forces caused by water and wave motion, and also avoids scouring which would otherwise occur about the platform legs and piles due to movement of water along the ocean floor. The apron further lowers the center of gravity of the structure and improves its resistance to vibrations and resonance effects due to wave motion.
