ABSTRACT:
The invention relates to a method of manufacturing large tubular columns, for example, for use as the legs of off-shore well-drilling apparatus. Each column is manufactured by initially fitting stiffening ring segments to a plurality of shell segments and then welding the shell segments together to form a column section. After additional ring segments have been fitted across the joints between the shell segments, a series of tubular sections are welded together to form the column.
