Profile: The height of the met mast structure is approximately 54m above mean sea level with anemometers installed at various levels to measure wind velocity and environmental data. The met mast is a rectangular lattice structure with base dimension of 3m at the platform level.
The met mast structure is supported by a tripod steel substructure. Each of the three legs of the substructure is supported on a suction can of 7m diameter which penetrates about 12m into the seabed.
The total weight of the tripod structure, the met mast and the fenders ( but excluding the weight of marine growth ) is estimated at approximately 900 tonnes, of which the three suction cans weight accounts for approximately 600 tonnes.
