US Patent:

20020092455, Jul 18, 2002

Filed:

Apr 23, 2001

Appl. No.:

09/840665

Inventors:

Stanley Kellogg - Houston TX, US
Alan McClure - , US
Scott McClure - Houston TX, US

International Classification:

B63B035/44

US Classification:

114/265000

Abstract:

An uncrossed-braced, column stabilized semi-submersible and improved methods of operation of the same are disclosed. The semi-submersible vessel provides necessary strength to resist hydrodynamic forces via a unitized support system. Improved elliptically shaped columns, haunch supports and reinforcing members provide stability and resist transverse forces. A skirt design minimizes the reduced stability at the transition point. Improved deck designs reduce environmental impacts and provide additional support against transverse forces.

SCOTT C. MCCLURE - Houston TX, US

Assignee:

ezNG SOLUTIONS LLC - Houston TX

International Classification:

F17C 3/02

Abstract:

Composite tank apparatus and methods of making and using same. An array of flat-sided co-dependent cells with relatively thin skins made of metallic or non-metallic materials. Each cell has at least two flat wall panel portions connected by radiused sections arranged such that all of the flat wall panel portions are either in flush contact with each other or in flush contact with flat supporting panels of an enclosing structure or thermal insulating material lining an interior thereof. The cells are sealed with each other around a perimeter of at least one pair of matching lightening through-wall holes provided in adjacent pairs of the wall panel portions of the cells to resist relative movement and prevent leakage of fluid therefrom. The composite tank apparatus may include an enclosing structure, and optionally, one or more layers of thermally insulating material lining the interior surface or the exterior surface of the enclosing structure.
