20080292412 | Arctic platform - The instant disclosure relates to a system and method of constructing drilling and production platforms that are particularly useful in remote, inaccessible and/or environmentally sensitive operating environments. According to one aspect of the invention, an arctic drilling platform is provided wherein various methods and means of interlocking neighboring platform modules are provided. Methods and means for sealing the intersections formed between a plurality of interlocked platform modules are also disclosed. According to further aspects of the invention, improved platform floor plans are provided, and various wellhead cellar layouts and sealing means are also described. Methods and means of enhancing the usefulness of modular storage platforms are disclosed, and a number of support post installation and removal techniques are also provided. Also taught are a variety of methods of adjusting the height and level of an assembled drilling platform, and methods and means of adding extension members useful for extending the length of a support post are also described. | 11-27-2008 |
20100232888 | Pole Setting Device And System - A device for setting poles into the ground utilizing a fluid is disclosed. The device is connected to a source fluid, such as water. The device also includes a fluid pump. The inlet of the pump is connected to the source of fluid and the output is connected through a conduit to a pole setting device. The output from the pump is high volume. The pole setting device includes a manifold which distributes the high volume fluid to at least two conduits that are substantially vertically oriented with respect to the pole. After the pole has been set into the ground the pole setting device can be removed from the ground and the pole and used to set another pole in the ground. Nozzles can be optionally located at the outlet end of each of the conduits. | 09-16-2010 |
20130004244 | LOAD BEARING CONSTRUCTION PILE - A load bearing pile arrangement comprising a plurality of load bearing construction pile assemblies. Each comprises a pile provided with a support manifold at an upper end thereof. Each pile includes an outer tube and an inner tube between which, when the assembly is in use, provides a pathway for fluid pumped from above and down through the inner tube to a vortex manifold where the fluid swirls before passing upwards between the inner tube and the outer tube. The fluid also swirls as it passes upwards between the tubes and by at least one collar comprising an annular ring fixedly mounted on the tube the ring having helices, which cause the fluid to continue swirling as it passes upwards between the tubes and. In use, the load bearing pile arrangement can be used to recover heat from the surrounding ground; store heat in the surrounding ground; or, to store coolth, especially in a desert locality. | 01-03-2013 |
20140199125 | METHOD FOR EVACUATING TRANSFER AIR FROM A MIXTURE OF PRESSURIZED AIR AND BINDING AGENT - A method for evacuating transfer air contained in a binding agent from a mixture of pressurized air and binding agent when stabilizing earth masses by adding binding agent. In the method is used an apparatus comprising means for producing pressurized air, a binding agent container, a supply pipe for the mixture of pressurized air and binding agent, and an apparatus for mixing the binding agent into the earth mass. The pressurized air used for transferring the binding agent is evacuated through a separate discharge pipe by means of the following measures before the pressurized air is conveyed into the earth mass: 1) the binding agent is conveyed into a storage space with a binding agent discharge opening into the ground, and 2) the pressure level in the apparatus is adjusted to be such that the pressure in the storage space exceeds the counterpressure caused by the ground at the discharge opening, whereupon the binding agent discharges from the storage space via the discharge opening out into the ground and at least a part of the air discharges controllably from the upper part of the storage space into the discharge pipe. | 07-17-2014 |
20140241815 | APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR REDUCTION OF SONIC VIBRATIONS IN A LIQUID - An apparatus for reduction of sonic vibrations caused when driving a foundation member below the surface of a liquid has a tube structure which is lowered below the surface of the liquid, and which receives the foundation member. A seal is in contact with the tube structure and creates a contained volume around the foundation member, which may be pumped dry so as to minimize the communication of sonic vibrations into the liquid. | 08-28-2014 |
