ABSTRACT:
An offshore drilling/production platform equipped with a retractable work deck. A light weight work deck constructed of tubular steel with plate steel attachment plates welded thereto. A plurality of variously configured removable panels can be bolted in a configuration that can provide the work surface needed to accomplish the tasks of installing wellhead equipment, inspecting the below deck regions of the platform or performing maintenance on such portions. A plurality of removable and foldable handrail sections are installed about the periphery of the configured work surface. The work deck can be retracted to a position immediately adjacent the lowermost fixed deck to protect it from wind and waves when not in use.
