A turbomachinery installation for an offshore platform, comprising:
- a train system including a power module, comprising:
- a power source for supplying energy to the turbomachinery installation,
- an enclosing structure that encloses the power source, and
- a supporting baseplate coupled to the enclosing structure and the power source;
- a load driven by the power module;
- a torque tube baseplate on which the train system is installed, the torque tube baseplate comprising a main beam and transverse beams disposed perpendicular to the main beam;
- and
- coupling members for coupling the supporting baseplate and the torque tube baseplate,
- wherein at least one of the transverse beams is set at a height that is different than any other transverse beams, and
- wherein the supporting baseplate is arranged between the power module and the torque tube baseplate.
