Deck Support Units are generally employed as a robust sliding support during leg mating operation. They are capable of supporting the deck & facilitate leg mating during float over operation.
DSU’s are generally employed as a robust sliding support during leg mating operation. They are capable of supporting the deck & facilitate leg mating during float-over operation. The sliding surfaces are generally polished with SS Kevlar-reinforced Teflon. The coefficient of friction between these surfaces is very low to ensure a smooth transition of forces.
