ABSTRACT:
This invention pertains to a re-usable offshore platform that is secured in place by skirt piles. The platform is constructed with skirt pile sleeves having an interior insert that is subsequently connected to the skirt pile. Prior to salvage, or re-use, the connection between the sleeve and the insert is cut thereby enabling the skirt pile to be removed which consequently allows the platform to be moved. Upon re-use or re-positioning, a new insert is installed and secured within the sleeve afterwhich new skirt piles are stabbed through the insert and embedded in the seafloor. Alternatively, should larger piles be needed at the new location, the larger piles can be stabbed through the sleeve itself thereby eliminating the need for new inserts.
