21 again show a drilling platform comprised of a group 52 of platform sections that have been interconnected for support of equipment storage modules that will later be installed on top of various portions of the platform as shown the platform sections are supported by twenty seven support posts 54 which engage various platform sections from locations disposed beneath the platform those of ordinary skill in the art however will appreciate that any number of platform and deck sections can be assembled into a single unitary whole or even several discrete modular platform units and any number of support posts can be employed to support the structure depending on the various field requirements imposed by actual operating environments those of ordinary skill in the art will also appreciate that by employing the example platform assembly methods described above weight loads can be directed and distributed in virtually any direction along the platform and additional interconnections between platform sections can be established to either support weight loads disposed on deck sections or to otherwise lend stability and structural rigidity to the resulting platform system referring now to the example embodiment of fig2 a support post 2 is shown disposed near an intersection 230 of four interconnected platform modules 232 234 236 and 238 moving out radially from intersection 230 a plurality of connecting hooks 240 242 246 and 248 are disposed over complementary fence members 250 252 254 and 256 so that the several associated platform sections are securely interconnected the hook and fence member assemblies also serve to effectively seal the intersection 240 where the platform sections are joined at least insofar as.
