The Leg Mating Unit (LMU) is a key component mainly used in the float-over installation process. It is designed to reduce the impact force between the upper and lower structures and limit their relative displacement.
It can effectively mitigate the impact of the module on the jacket, enabling the module to achieve smooth positioning on the jacket. After positioning, the LMU is welded to both the jacket and the module, becoming part of the load-bearing structure of the platform's legs.
LMU not only acts as a soft spring, but also suppresses the overall movement of the installation barge or vessel. As an indispensable core technology in the float-over installation of platforms, the LMU plays a crucial role.
