[0002] An offshore platform is a structure that houses the facilities needed to support the activities associated with the production and living of people at sea.

[0003] According to their structural characteristics and working conditions, offshore platforms can be classified into three categories: fixed, mobile and semi-fixed. Fixed platforms are directly supported by piles, enlarged footings or other structures and are fixed to the seabed. They can be classified into two types: pile-supported and gravity-based. Mobile platforms float on water or are supported on the seabed and can be moved from one well to another. They can be classified into two types: bottom-anchored and floating. In recent years, a new type of semi-fixed offshore platform has been developed. It can be fixed in deep water and is mobile. The tension leg platform belongs to this category.

[0004] Railing is installed around the offshore platform and in each functional area to provide protection for people and is an essential part of an offshore platform.
