ABSTRACT:
A spudwell cooperating with a pipe pile and a jacking mechanism for elevag a pontoon section above a body of water. The spudwell straddles the pipe pile through a pair of vertically aligned apertures through which the pipe pile extends. A plurality of pins rigidly affixed to the spudwell are aligned to extend through holes located in the pontoon section. When extended through the holes in the pontoon section, a securing plate engages the pins thereby securing the spudwell to the pontoon section. A pair of chains from the jacking mechanism are connected to the spudwell via a motion compensation system incorporated therein.
