The LMU for one of the 6 BP AIOC platforms is export ready and loaded onto a truck for delivery after the unit passed full scale assembly Factory Acceptance Testing. OKI supplied the Leg Mating Units (LMU's) and Deck Support Units (DSU's) for the CPOC Block B-17 float-over, which occured in August 2009. The 16,400 MT Deck was transported and installed by the Black Marlin, a Dockwise vessel.
OKI uses 3D CAD software to perform structural analysis and visualize all aspects of design to prevent any issues that may arise during fabrication.
The Kikeh Spar, constructed by Technip and operated by Murphy Oil, required LMU's with both vertical and horizontal flexible components. OKI's Lateral Compression Ring (LCR) was incorporated into this design.

PRT Compliant Centralizer Units for the BP Hostein Spar. OKI's custom product designed and developed to customer requirements.
One of OKI's core pillars of quality is the internal testing regime required on all parts delivered to customers to ensure structural integrity and performance requirements. OKI has constructed the world's largest press of this nature to increase its current capacity to accommodate float-over hardware for the heaviest platforms in the world.
