    摘要: The present disclosure provides a system for vertical deployment of leaching lines onto a slope of a mine leach pad. The system includes an elevated guidewire having a first end disposed at a top of the slope and a second end disposed at a bottom of the slope; the elevated guidewire being elevated above a surface of the slope; a deployment apparatus moveably coupled to the elevated guidewire and having one or more attachment mechanisms disposed thereon; and one or more leaching lines coupled to the attachment mechanisms; wherein movement of the deployment mechanism from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope pulls the one or more leaching lines down the slope and deploys the one or more leaching lines vertically onto the surface of the slope.

    摘要: A header delivery system and method for performing a pigging operation on a process tube connected to a header pipe. The header delivery system is insertable in the header pipe and has a launcher pipe for launching an inspection or cleaning tool to the process tube. A tube coupler for coupling to the process tube and a bumper are connected to the launcher pipe. A jack apparatus is configured to position the tube coupler and the bumper. A wedge assembly is connected to the launcher pipe and has a first actuating wedge and a first extension wedge. A first linear actuator is connected to the first actuating wedge and is configured to move the first extension wedge and the tube coupler mount apart from one another to position the tube coupler and the bumper from a retracted position to an extended position.

    摘要: A system for installing and labeling lay flat irrigation pipe in flooded rice and furrow irrigated fields, and a trailer for laying a roll of pipe in an irrigated field. The trailer includes a flexible hitch assembly positioned at a first end of the trailer, wherein the hitch assembly couples the trailer to a vehicle. The trailer also includes a distribution assembly positioned at a second end of the trailer, wherein the distribution assembly includes a spindle and wherein the distribution assembly couples the roll of pipe to the trailer; and a gooseneck frame including a first end coupled to the hitch assembly and a second end coupled to the distribution assembly, with an upper member between the first end and the second end of the gooseneck, wherein the upper member of the gooseneck is elevated relative to the hitch assembly. The trailer may also include offset tandem wheels with a furrow assembly to facilitate the creation of a furrow ditch and for traversing flood irrigated levees for the purposes of installing lay-flat polyethylene pipe for irrigation. The trailer may also include an adjustable telescoping hitch to adjust to various vehicle hitch heights. The system includes a labeling system for indicating the punch size needed along the pipeline during installation. A computerized hole selection plan is developed and transferred to a microprocessor device, where sensors or a global positioning system is co-locate the device so the punch label can be applied along the pipe during installation.

    摘要: An adjustable Vertical Support Member (VSM) that can be raised or lowered by turning a crank. Each VSM consists of a outer frame that has a base, and an inner frame that is adjustably positioned within the outer frame. A crank system is provided to lift (or lower) the inner frame as needed to restore the pipe to its original position. In this way, a pipeline can be set easily over varied terrain or, for operational reasons, at different heights, without equipment or large crews.
