  • the pipe must be able to allow the rise of a large volume of water, typically several tens or even hundreds of thousands of cubic meters per hour, from great depths, for example several hundred meters. This rise is carried out using pumping means located on the surface, for example pumps lowering the level of the water in the pipe relative to sea level, or else located deep in the pipe.
  • Application WO 2019/097151 describes a pipe for pumping water from great depths, which has a greater length than the previous pipes, and which can be installed more easily.

  • Each longitudinal element comprises a wall, forming a section of said pipe, said wall being prestressed in tension, for example longitudinally and/or circumferentially, when the water is not pumped into the pipe.
  • the wall may have a thickness less than or equal to 5 cm, preferably less than 3 cm, or even 1 cm. Preferably, the wall may have a thickness of between 3 and 4 mm.
  • the pipe according to the present invention comprises a wall which is prestressed.
  • the purpose of the prestressing is to limit the overall stresses that the wall will undergo when the pipe is going to be used to pump water.
  • a depression is created inside it which causes stresses in the wall.
  • the wall is designed to be prestressed before pumping the water into the pipe.
  • the stresses created by the interior depression of the pipe which are centripetal stresses, will be balanced, in the material of the wall, by the prestress which is a centrifugal prestress.
  • the stresses exerted in the material of the wall oppose each other to lead to a lower final stress, limiting the risks of deformation, or even crushing, of the wall.
  • said prestressing for example radial or centrifugal, is chosen to be substantially greater than or equal, in amplitude, to the depression created inside to pump the water with the device, so as to balance the pressures exerted on the wall when water is pumped with the device.
  • each longitudinal element comprises an individual frame, for example in the form of a crinoline, said wall being mounted on, and in particular inside, the frame.
  • the purpose of the reinforcement is to provide a stable mechanical support, to create the prestress of the wall.
  • the reinforcements are configured to connect together in a sealed manner
  • said longitudinal elements for example, comprise end portions with sealing means configured to cooperate with the end portions of the adjacent reinforcements.

  • the circumferential or longitudinal prestressing means will be mounted between the reinforcement and the wall, and will be configured to be able to reduce their length, so as to create a centrifugal or radial prestress. , or a longitudinal or axial prestress in the wall.
  • the prestressing means preferably circumferential, comprise an elastic means, for example spring washers mounted in the turnbuckles, to allow deformation of the prestressed wall, when water is pumped with the device.
  • an elastic means for example spring washers mounted in the turnbuckles, to allow deformation of the prestressed wall, when water is pumped with the device.
  • the elastic means allows the prestressing means to deform under the effect of an external constraint: this in particular allows the wall to deform under the effect of the constraints linked to the internal depression of the pipe during pumping some water.
  • the deformation of the wall during the establishment of the initial prestressing is not fixed, but can on the contrary change when the wall undergoes the stresses due to the difference in hydraulic pressure which come to balance the prestressing.

  • the elastic means allow, thanks to their deformation, the prestressed wall to deform under the effect of the stresses linked to the suction water when pumping. The pre-stress and the depression stresses compensating each other, the wall can then regain its initial shape, and undergo few mechanical stresses.
  • the frame comprises at least two, preferably three, longitudinal means, for example bars, connecting the end portions of the frame together, and at least two, preferably four or more, means devices, for example cores, connecting the longitudinal means together.

It is then possible to control the flow of water circulating in the pipe with the depression applied at the top of the pipe. In addition, a better mechanical strength of the pipe as a whole is also obtained, which can thus better withstand the various stresses exerted on it. Finally, with a rigid structure, the flow of water circulating in the pipe remains constant all along the pipe.

  • the fixing assembly is mounted on the individual frame by first pivot connections, preferably two diametrically opposed on the periphery of the individual frame.
  • the pivot connections between the individual frame and the mounting assembly provide some flexibility in driving. Indeed, the supporting structure, formed of cables, can be deformed to a certain extent according to the stresses which it undergoes, whereas the longitudinal elements of the pipe are rigid.
  • the pivot connections make it possible to provide a degree of freedom, albeit limited, at the level of the junctions between adjacent longitudinal elements. It is thus possible to obtain deviations between the axes of two adjacent individual reinforcements, which can be of the order of 5°, which remains small but which, given the number of longitudinal elements, can result in a significant curvature of the pipe. in general.

  • a degree of freedom is then obtained between two adjacent individual reinforcements which is greater and which allows orientation, albeit small, in any direction in space in order to respond to the external constraints which apply to the pipe.
  • the individual armature comprises an upper end portion and a lower end portion, the diameter of the inner peripheral surface of the upper end portion is greater than the diameter of the outer peripheral surface of the upper end portion.
