Definitions

  • the invention relates to a process for depositing loose material under water, in which the loose material, mixed with water, is fed in at or near the bottom of the body of water through a pipe which has an outflow aperture and is directed downwards from a movable device, such as a vessel, while during the infeed of this mixture the device with the pipe is moved along a specific course, so that the outflowing mixture separates under water into water and loose material, the loose material being deposited on the bottom of the body of water.
  • a movable device such as a vessel
  • the object of the invention is to produce a process with which it is in fact possible to deposit loose material, in particular fine-grained loose material, such as fine sand, in the correct place in the correct form, without the loose material spreading in a more or less arbitrary manner.
  • the mixture of water and loose material which is fed in through the pipe does not flow out through a single aperture, but through a large number of apertures lying in the direction of the course, while the delivery, i.e. the volume per unit time, flowing through the pipe is distributed among these apertures. Jets of mixture which have a small loose material outflow per aperture then emerge from the many apertures. If the pipe with the apertures is on or close to the area to be covered, then settling can take place a short distance away without the admixture of surrounding water.
  • the pipe provided with outflow apertures and trailing along the bottom of the body of water or moving just above it forms a ridge of loose material which can serve to cover a line or cable, but which can also be used to build up a body, such as a sand body.
  • the device for using the process according to the invention can be achieved in many different ways.
  • the device according to the invention can be characterized in that the outflow mouth comprises a length of tubing which runs parallel to the bottom of the body of water and is provided with apertures distributed along the length of tubings, said apertures together with the then throttled end aperture of the length of tubing forming a passage which can process the delivery of the pipe.
  • This length of tubing can be connected to the pipe by means of hinges with at least two pins standing at right angles to each other, and can be controlled in this way. It can therefore also be held just above the bottom, so that the outflow distance for the jets of mixture is as small as possible.
  • the length of tubing can be a rigid pipe, but it can also be a flexible hose.
  • the condition is that it is provided with series of outflow apertures along a great length, for example 10 to 15 meters.
  • the outflow apertures are preferably disposed in the top part of the length of tubing.
  • This flap can be made of tight material, but is preferably made of material which is permeable to water, but which retains the loose material. The loose material is in this way expelled from the jets and forced by the flap to settle on the bottom. Admixture with surrounding water can be fully counteracted in this way.
  • Apertures can, however, also be provided in the bottom part of the length of tubing.
  • the length of tubing is a flexible hose, which is dragged along the bottom, it preferably has the apertures in the top parts of the side wall. However, it is then possible to connect several lines, such as, for example, two or more hoses which are fixed to a manifold, which is in turn fixed to the end of the pipe.
  • the outermost hoses can be largely or fully left without lateral apertures, and the outermost hoses are longer than the innermost. A good lateral boundary is obtained in this way.
  • control can be carried out by controlling the bottom end of the pipe, for example by means of cardan joints with operating cylinders disposed therein.
  • the length of tubing is a funnel which from the pipe onwards has a flow cross section which increases in the direction of flow and is provided with outflow apertures in the wall.
  • the increase in cross section results in a speed reduction, and thus a reduction in the emerging partial jets.
  • the height of this funnel can decrease in the direction of flow, so that only one outlet slot is left at the end of the funnel.
  • the funnel can also pass gradually in the direction of flow from the circular cross section of the pipe to a horizontal crescent shape.
  • the shape itself then provides protection against the admixture of surrounding water, and this shape is particularly beneficial for the covering of a pipe.
  • Fig. 1 indicates by 1 the side of a hopper.
  • a downward-slanting pipe 3 Coming out of this side wall of the hopper via an elbow 2 is a downward-slanting pipe 3, which is connected to the elbow by means of hinge arms 4, said hinge being straddled by a bellows 5.
  • Said pipe 3 is suspended from the hopper by cables, such as the cable 6.
  • a pipe to be covered, which can lie in a channel, is indicated by 15.
  • a flap 16 is placed over the tubing 12 provided with slits 13 and - as shown in Fig. 3 - is held at some distance from the top wall of the length of tubing 12 by a support 17, and on either side thereof hangs down and is in contact with the bottom 18 of the water.
  • the flaps 16 can, if desired, be provided on the front or rear end with a cross flap 16"' which does not entirely reach the bottom.
  • the mixture emerging from the slits 13 forms an accumulation, indicated in its entirety by 19, under the flaps 16′, 16 ⁇ (vide Fig. 3).
  • the hopper 1 is advanced parallel to the course of the pipe 15 to be covered, so that during this advance an unbroken accumulation or sand ridge which covers the pipe 15 is formed.
  • a flexible hose 21 which hangs down in a curve and rests with a long part 21′ on the course to be covered, is connected to the pipe section 11 of the pipe 3, which is designed in the same way as shown in Fig. 1.
  • This hose is provided in the side walls with slit-type out-flow apertures 22, from which mixture jets 23 emerge.
  • the hose part 21′ Since the hose is moved forward with the hopper along the course of the pipe 15, the hose part 21′ will remain stably in the accumulation forming.
  • the accumulation 19′ obtained is flatter in shape.
  • Fig. 4 shows how an accumulation 28 can be formed by means of two hoses 24, 25 with lateral outflow apertures 26, 27.
  • the outflow apertures can here be disposed largely or entirely in the sides of the hoses facing each other. In an embodiment with four hoses it is possible to make the two outermost hoses considerably longer than the two innermost hoses.
  • the outermost hoses can here be made tight over a large part or even fully, and serve to prevent lateral flowing away of the loose material mixture from the two innermost hoses, in such a way that most of the loose material settles between the two outermost hoses.
  • the hoses 26, 27 respectively are fixed to a manifold 29, which bears a rod 30, on which the flap 31 rests, said flap extending on either side of the hoses 26 and 27.
  • Fig. 7 shows an embodiment in which the length of tubing is formed by a funnel 32 with a large number of elongated outflow apertures 33 in the bottom face.
  • the funnel is also crescent-shaped in cross section, as indicated at 35, with outlet apertures 36 in the bottom part. This funnel encloses the object 37 to be covered from above.
