WHAT WILL THEY THINK OF NEXT !

THIS IS AN OVER ENGINEERED PIECE OF METAL

WHO EVER DESIGNED THIS CLAMP WAS REALY THINKING OUT OF THE BOX.

THIS CLAMP BOLTS OVER A PLATFORM HORIZONTAL MEMBER =, THEN IS CENTRALIZED WITH THE FOUR STUD BOLTS. THEN THE PACKING PLATS ON EACH END ARE INSTALLED, THEN WE ARE TOO PUMP GROUT INTO IT. 

I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE THIS BEFORE AND I HOPE I NEVER DO. AFTER YEARS IN SERVICE I SUSPECT IT WILL HAVEE MAJOR FAILURE. I HOPE I'M NOT DRILLING ON THIS PLATFORM IF THIS DOES HAPPEN. GOOD LUCK ..... CARIGALI OIL, MALAYSIAN GOVT. OIL COMPANY.
