They are sometimes called “a system in a box.”
Permanent floating concrete structures have various uses including the discovery of oil and gas deposits, in oil and gas production, as storage and offloading units and in heavy lifting systems. Common designs for floating concrete structures are the barge or ship design, the platform design (semi-submersible, TLP) as well as the floating ...

Slip forming, continuous poured, continuously formed, or slipform construction is a construction method in which concrete is placed into a form that may be in continuous motion horizontally, or incrementally raised vertically.
Originally, all oil platforms sat on the seabed, but as exploration moved to deeper waters and more distant locations in the 1970s, floating production systems came to be used. [5] The first oil FPSO was built in 1977 on the Shell Castellon field, located in the Spanish Mediterranean. [6] Today, over 270 vessels are deployed worldwide as oil ...

The original hull was a gravity base made up of support pilings and concrete ballast chambers from which three or four shafts rise and upon which the deck sits. Once fully ballasted, the hull was to sit on the sea floor. There were 24 chambers, of which four formed the 'legs' supporting the facility on top in the case of the Sleipner A oil rig.
