Compliant Tower

A Glossary of Upstream Terms » Compliant Tower

Compliant towers are much like fixed platforms. They consist of a narrow tower, attached to a foundation on the seafloor and extending up to the platform.
This tower is flexible, as opposed to the relatively rigid legs of a fixed platform. This flexibility allows it to operate in much deeper water, as it can 'absorb'much of the pressure exerted on it by the wind and sea.
Compliant towers are used between 500 and 1000 meters water depth.
