摘要:
The invention relates to a method for delivering large quantities of under water soil and/or ore bearing soil from long-distance borrow areas to a reclamation site. The method comprises the steps of mooring at least one seagoing transport vessel (1) with a size considerably larger than the size of a dredging vessel (3) and adapted to receive a large quantity of soil in the vicinity of the at least one borrow area, providing at least one dredging vessel that dredges soil at the at least one borrow area and transports it to the transport vessel, loading the soil into a buffering vessel (4) or into the transport vessel (1) directly, transporting the soil in a transportable state to the long-distance reclamation site with the aid of the transport vessel, mooring the transport vessel in the reclamation site, and unloading the soil from the transport vessel to the reclamation site.

The wear tip (24) has a wear face at the front and a cavity especially a tapered socket at its rear. An adaptor (18) is fixed to the excavator bucket and has a tapered nose that fits into the wear tip socket. An ear extends from the rear of the adaptor that forms, in conjunction with the adapter a slot into which a lock (41) may engage. The lock may be released by insertion of a pry tool (T) and may include a latch and resilient part. Independent claims are also included for the following (a) The lock (b) The method to mount the wear tip (c) The method to remove the wear tip.

A method and apparatus (100) for determining a location of an underground object (108) during a digging operation. The method and apparatus (100) includes delivering a signal toward the underground object (108), receiving a reflected signal from the underground object (108), determining an initial location of the underground object (108), creating a region of uncertainty (110) around the underground object (108) as a function of a level of confidence of the determined initial location, performing at least one process to improve the level of confidence, and adjusting the region of uncertainty (110) as a function of the improved level of confidence.

The invention relates to a method and a device for dumping dredged materials and the like on a bottom present under the water surface. The dredged materials or the like are delivered under the water surface by means of a conveyor pipeline (9) comprising a portion extending in the direction of the bottom under said water surface. The part of the conveyor pipeline (9) extending under the water surface is at least partly surrounded by a screen (6) which extends to near the bottom. The screen is attached to a floating body (2). Means (7) by which the bottom end of the screen (6) is adjustable for height with respect to the floating body (2) are connected to the bottom end of the screen (6).

The coupling joint has on the mating contact surfaces (20,21,22) between the tooth (18) and the tooth holder (17) the following characteristics:
the upper and lower surfaces (20,21,22) which define the stabilisation planes comprise a substantially flat central surface (20) and another two flat surfaces (21,22), one on each side of the said central surface (20), so that the interstice between the central flat surface (20) and the corresponding facing surface of the tooth holder (17) is smaller than the respective interstices between the lateral flat surfaces (21,22) and the corresponding facing surfaces of the receiving cavity of the tooth (18); the upper and lower rear edges (30,31) of the lugs (28) of the tooth (18) have a convex transverse structure; the internal vertical rear edge of the rear lugs (28) of the tooth (18) have surfaces of a shape matching the opposed faces of the tooth holder (17), giving rise to higher bearing surfaces in the case of transverse bearing on the tooth (18).

The invention relates to a method and an apparatus for dredging a trench in a bed. According to the method the cutter head of a cutter dredger is moved in a reciprocating motion parallel to the course of the trench to be dredged during the dredging, wherein the cutter head is moved perpendicular to the course after every motion. The apparatus comprises a seaworthy cutter dredger ship (100), which is pulled by cables (11-18) along the course of the trench. Advantageously the ship (100) has a shallow draught, and use is made of a dish cutter head on a movable vertical bearing girder.

Propulsion apparatus (10) is disclosed for urging a trenching arm (12) forward against the advancing face of an elongate trench being dug by the trenching arm. The propulsion apparatus (10) includes a propulsion member (22) which is engageable with the base wall of the trench such that the trenching arm (12) may be urged forward relative to the engaged propulsion member (22). The propulsion member (22) may then be withdrawn from engagement with the base wall and retracted towards the trenching arm (12) before commencing a further propulsion cycle. The propulsion member (22) is also operable to cooperate with the trenching arm (12) in excavating a starting slot at the beginning of a new trench.

A seafloor nodule concentrating system is provided. The seafloor nodule concentrating system has a surface vessel and an undersea steering vehicle secured to the surface vessel. The undersea steering vehicle is adapted to be towed by the surface vessel. The seafloor nodule concentrating system also has a nodule collecting apparatus connected to the undersea steering vehicle. The nodule collecting apparatus is located on the seafloor. The seafloor nodule concentrating system also has a position determination device adapted to determine the position of the nodule collecting apparatus and communicate position information of the nodule collecting apparatus to the undersea steering vehicle and surface vessel.

A system for seafloor mining. A seafloor auxiliary mining tool works a seafloor site to prepare a bench, and deposits cut ore in a gathering area. A seafloor bulk mining tool undertakes production cutting of a bench and deposits cut ore in a gathering area. A seafloor gathering machine gathers cut ore deposited in the gathering area and pumps gathered ore as a slurry to a riser base. A riser and lifting system receives slurry from the gathering machine and lifts the slurry to the surface. A surface vessel receives slurry from the riser and lifting system.
