Le pont [de la plate-forme «G.B.S.»] est calculé pour supporter des modules et/ou équipements d'un poids total estimé à 25.500 t, y compris la structure et 18.000 t durant la phase de remorquage. 2, record 1, French, - pont
Record number: 1, Textual support number: 2 CONT
La stabilité de la structure durant l'immersion est l'un des problèmes critiques que pose une plateforme à caisson immergée. Plus le pont est léger pendant cette phase, plus le centre de gravité est bas et plus la stabilité est grande. Pour cette raison un grand nombre de plates-formes sont conçues avec des ponts métalliques. 3, record 1, French, - pont
