1. A system for treating a subterranean formation, the system comprising:
- a platform;
a grillage mounted on the platform;
a module for treating the subterranean formation; and
a lock that comprises a first plate, a second plate that comprises a bottom surface, and a connector that connects the first plate and the second plate such that the second plate is substantially offset from the first plate when the lock is viewed from above,wherein when the first plate mechanically engages the grillage and the second plate mechanically engages the module, a portion of the module contacts the grillage at a position beneath the second plate.

Abstract
Methods and systems for conducting operations to subterranean formations are provided. The system includes a platform, a grillage mounted on the platform, at least one module for treating the subterranean formation, and a plurality of locks that mechanically engage the grillage with the module. Each lock includes a first plate, a second plate and a connector that connects the first plate and the second plate. The first plate is configured to mechanically engage the grillage, the second plate is configured to mechanically engage the module for treating the subterranean formation.

15. A method of using a system for treating a subterranean formation, the method comprising:
-
positioning a module for treating the subterranean formation relative to a grillage that is mounted on a platform; and mechanically engaging the grillage with the module via a removable lock that comprises a first plate a second plate, and a connector that connects the first plate and the second plate such that the second plate is substantially offset from the first plate when the lock is viewed from above, wherein the mechanically engaging the grillage with the module via the removable lock comprises mechanically engaging the first plate with the grillage and comprises mechanically engaging the second plate with the module such that a portion of the module contacts the grillage at a position beneath the second plate. - View Dependent Claims (16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
