The Troll A platform is a condeep offshore natural gas platform in the Troll gas field off the west coast of Norway. It is the tallest structure that has ever been moved to another position, relative to the surface of the Earth, and is among the largest and most complex engineering projects in history. The platform was a televised sensation when it was towed into the North Sea in 1996, where it is now operated by Statoil.

Troll A was built by Norwegian Contractors for Norske Shell, with base construction beginning in July 1991 at a cost of 4150 million NOK, or approximately US$650,000,000 at the time. The base and the deck were built separately, and were joined in 1995 while the base was partially submerged. The base is a Condeep gravity base structure built from reinforced concrete.

The Troll platform was towed over 200 kilometres (120 mi) from Vats, in the northern part of Rogaland, to the Troll field, 80 kilometres (50 mi) north-west of Bergen. The tow took seven days.

WOOD-BURNING – Takes a lot of charcoal to run most metal foundries at home, but not this one! Homemade Metal Foundry melts aluminum cans and recycled aluminum bar stock from metal scrap yards. Supersized yet relatively cheap and easy to build. 50 pounds of plaster and 50 pounds of sand, 24 inch aluminum flashing from Home Depot, 1 60 pound bag of cement, a few screws and you have a supersized home blast furnace. Warning, protective clothing should be used at all times when working with hot metals. Unexpected alloys or other possible factors could create a large pop or small explosion of liquid metal that could severely injure you if you are unprotected. You assume all risks when operating this homemade blast furnace. This is NOT A TOY and should never be taken lightly!! Aluminum melts at over 1200 degrees F. You should read other sources of information regarding safely working with molten metals. I only touch on what can be done once you are safely prepared. Thanks and be safe!
