Fixation system
In line with improving the rigs operational efficiency and performance, the OTD Self Positioning
Fixation System was introducedto provide the rig with the increased holdingcapacity required for
almost anyoperational condition. The OTD fixation system is an electro-hydraulically actuated, high
capacity self positioning rack chock type system. Once engaged, the chocks are locked against the leg
rack by wedge blocks. The wedge blocks are held by self-locking jackscrews driven by worm gears.
The rack chock tooth profile is specially designed to provide smooth engagement and disengagement.
The system can automatically position the rack chock such that the engagement/disengagement can be
done regardless of the rig elevation. This minimises human intervention and speeds up operational time
of engagement and disengagement. The design is patented. This advanced fixation system is currently
in use on the latest KFELS A-CIass, KFELS B-Class and KFELS G-Class jack-up rigs.
