Abstract:
A device configured to bury a conduit in the bed of a body of water has a digging module configured to dig a trench in the bed of the body of water; a manipulating module configured to feed conduit sections into the trench; and a push module configured to join the conduit sections inside the trench and move the device in a travelling direction.
Abstract:
A system for handling operations in a body of water has an unmanned floating vehicle configured to perform first activities from a surface of the body of water; at least one intervention/inspection device configured to perform second activities in/on the body of water; a first control module, configured to control the performance of the first activities according to first acquired data; a second control module, configured to control the performance of the second activities according to second acquired data; and a mission control unit in communication with the first and the second control module and configured to assign respective first activities to the first control module and respective second activities to the second control module according to a mission prediction model and to control the performance of the first and second activities assigned in combination.
Abstract:
A machine configured to repair a pipeline extending along a longitudinal axis determined in a body of water, the machine comprising: a frame configured to be clamped to the pipeline; an applicator configured to apply material along an outer surface of the pipeline and comprising a support body shaped as an open ring and configured to be arranged about the pipeline; and an actuating assembly, which is supported by the frame, is arranged between the frame and the applicator, has a distal end configured to support the applicator in a cantilevered fashion and in a rotatable manner, and is configured to displace the applicator along the longitudinal axis and/or to rotate the applicator about the longitudinal axis.
