    摘要: A method of underground laying a continuous elongated member in a bed of a body of water, wherein the continuous elongated member lies on the bed of the body of water along a given path; the method including the steps of: fragmenting a soil mass in the bed along the given path and under the continuous elongated member, so as to form in the bed two scarp slopes bounding the fragmented soil mass by two soil masses susceptible to slide; advancing two supporting walls along the given path in an advancing direction, along the respective two scarp slopes, and transferring the fragmented soil mass between the two supporting walls, so as to promote sinking of the continuous elongated member between the two supporting walls.

    摘要: A BAS plow creates a V-trench along the linear route of a pipeline path and an instrumented bottle moving with the BAS plow collects BAS data indicative of the pitch, roll, heading, yaw, three dimensional positioning, speed and depth of the chassis, the shearing force applied to the seabed material and the applied tow force. The bottle can be swapped to collect the acquired data or an umbilical can be used to provide a real time stream of data. The Bas plow can simultaneously backfill the created trench, leaving an undisrupted seabed, or the pipeline can be laid in the BAS trench, which can also be made deeper and wider by additional trench cutting passes, significantly reducing the total time required for combined BAS and pipeline laying processes. The BAS plow can be released and retrieved over-the-stem of a towing vessel.

    摘要: A system for entrenching an underwater pipeline on a water bottom. The system is comprised of an underwater pipeline positioned on a water bottom; a floating vessel; an elongated tubular entrenching tool having a plurality of tool nozzles; a jetting head having a plurality of nozzles attached to the entrenching tool by a flexible jetting head hose; first and second waterlines; means for connecting the first waterline to the rear end of the entrenching tool and means for connecting the second waterline to the front end of said tool; and means for suspending the entrenching tool below the pipeline. A pump supported on the surface vessel is connected to the waterlines and is utilized to pump a volume of water at a desired pressure through the waterlines to the entrenching tool to create a trench on the water bottom for entrenching the pipeline by the jets of water at the tool and jetting head nozzles. The entrenching tool also has an attached air pipe connected to an air hose and an air compressing means supported on the surface vessel to produce a volume of air at a desired pressure through air holes in the air pipe to enhance the creation of the trench and the entrenchment of the pipeline. The systems is provided with means to move the suspended entrenching tool along the pipeline to further expand the trench created by the tool.

    摘要: A system for constructing narrow underground walls utilizing the slurry trench method is disclosed wherein a first apparatus excavates from one end of a slurry filled trench and a second apparatus is utilized for filling the trench with a wall forming material and at least a part of the excavating and/or filling apparatus is floated on the slurry in the trench. In one disclosed embodiment, narrow cut-off walls are formed by excavating from one end of a slurry filled trench and backfilling the trench at the opposite end by depositing therein a mixture of excavated soil and bentonite slurry from the trench, and includes a relatively large float adapted to be immersed in the slurry to prevent loading on the trench walls and stabilizing the apparatus for excavating purposes. In a further embodiment, in combination with a float-fin, low pressure tires or crawler treads bear a portion of the load and the distribution between the float and the ground engaging apparatus is accomplished by adjusting the bouyancy of the float, and the bouyancy of the float being adjusted by admitting or removing slurry or other liquid from the interior of the float.

    摘要: A marine continuous pipe laying system comprising a variable departure angle reel operably connected to a retractable trenching plow and backfilling apparatus. The reel comprises a pipe straightening mechanism connected to the rotational axis of the reel by a yoke for automatically maintaining proper bending moment regardless of the departure angle of the pipe. The plow comprises a shaped chisel share which is pivotally retractable within a sled frame for avoiding existing pipelines and varying the depth of cut and is provided with instrumented guide rollers to permit an operator to adjust the tow length of the plow to properly position the plow with respect to the catenary curve of the pipe being laid. The distance between the plow and the backfilling apparatus is adjustable to insure that the pipe is in the bottom of the trench before backfilling occurs.
