Abstract: An offshore drilling unit includes a main body configured to be bottom supported in shallow water. Also included is an anchoring assembly secured to a sea floor. Further included is a tensioning system operatively coupled to the main body and the anchoring assembly, wherein the tensioning system is configured to apply a downward force on the main body to resist ice loads imposed on the offshore drilling unit.

Abstract: The invention relates generally to a method for supporting non-buoyant offshore drilling units that are anchored to the sea floor and are subject to heavy lateral loads. Specifically, tension tendons are attached to piled foundations to prevent jack-ups from being overturned by the loads. Tension can also be applied to the tendons to provide additional hold down forces to the offshore units.
