The first, and thus far unique, cell-spar platform was Kerr-McGee's Red Hawk spar (7 ea. 8 m (26 ft) diameter cells). [6] Field-depletion occurred 4 years after production started, so Red Hawk was decommissioned in 2014 under the Bureau of Safety and Environmental Enforcement 's " Rigs-to-Reefs " program, at which time it was the deepest ...
The spar was upended in the fjord, after which the topsides were installed using the floatover technique. It was then towed vertically to the Aasta Hansteen gas field 300 kilometres (190 mi) off Bodø at the northwest coast of Norway. The spar is moored north of the Arctic Circle using polyester moorings to the seabed 1,200 metres (3,900 ft) below.
A truss is an assembly of members such as beams, connected by nodes, that creates a rigid structure. [1] In engineering, a truss is a structure that "consists of two-force members only, where the members are organized so that the assemblage as a whole behaves as a single object". [2]

A cantilever spar cable-stayed bridge is a modern variation of the cable-stayed bridge.This design has been pioneered by the structural engineer Santiago Calatrava in 1992 with the Puente del Alamillo in Seville, Spain.
Longerons, struts and stringers in a truss type fuselage structure [2]: 3–4 In an aircraft fuselage, stringers are attached to formers (also called frames) [3] and run in the longitudinal direction of the aircraft. They are primarily responsible for transferring the aerodynamic loads acting on the skin onto the frames and formers.
