Summary:The invention is directed to a method for increasing the overturning moment resistance of a jack-up drilling rig that includes the step of attaching at least one lateral leg support to at least one jack-up leg, wherein the jack-up leg is secured and has a lattice framework. The invention is also directed to a system and apparatus for increasing the overturning moment resistance of a support member with a lattice framework. La invención se refiere a un método para aumentar la resistencia al movimiento de volcamiento de una plataforma de perforación autoelevable que incluye la etapa de unir por lo menos un soporte de pata lateral a por lo menos una pata autoelevable, en donde la pata autoelevable se asegura y tiene un armazón enrejado. La invención también se refiere a un sistema y aparato para aumentar la resistencia al producirse el vuelco de un miembro de soporte con un armazón enrejado.
