The Troll Olje platform is the first catenary-moored concrete floater ever built. Detail engineering commenced in November 1992, and the substructure should be ready mechanical complete by December 1994. The main challenge has been to develop, design and fabricate a new concept within a tight schedule. This paper describes the main features of the concrete floater and gives an overview of some of the experience gained during the development of the concept.
