A What repair or modification to a MODU would most likely require consulting the construction portfolio?

A Replacing a service pump foundation
B Replacing watertight doors in quarters
C Repair of drill pipe racks on deck
D Repair of leg-to-can connection on a jack-up
AI Explanation

The correct answer is A) Replacing a service pump foundation. Replacing a service pump foundation would most likely require consulting the construction portfolio because the pump foundation is a structural component of the MODU (Mobile Offshore Drilling Unit) that was designed and installed during the initial construction. Any modifications to the structural integrity of the MODU would need to be reviewed against the original construction plans and specifications to ensure the changes do not compromise the overall safety and stability of the unit. The other options, such as replacing watertight doors in quarters (B), repairing drill pipe racks on deck (C), or repairing the leg-to-can connection on a jack-up (D), while still potentially requiring review, are more likely to be considered routine maintenance or repairs that would not necessarily require consulting the full construction portfolio.
