Hello.

I have a question on the operation of jack-up rigs: Is it possible to reduce the preloading times after a jack-up move by activating the jetting system - e.g. to "jet away a soft soil layer to land on the sand layer faster? I know it is not intended for this purpose but I found the idea interesting. Has anyone experience with this kind of operation?

Regards and thx in advance
