Abstract

This material is produced from matter having both a very high coefficient of extension and high remanence so that after rupture following its extension it remains in the extended state.

Description

MATERIAU POUR LE REPERAGE
DES CANALISATIONS SOUTERRAINES
L'invention a pour objet un matériau-pour le repérage des canalisations souterraines.
MARKING MATERIAL
UNDERGROUND PIPES
The subject of the invention is a material for locating underground pipes.

Pour permettre le repérage des canalisations souterraines, il est connu de les recouvrir de matériaux se présentant sous forme de grillages habituellement en matière plastique. To allow the identification of underground pipes, it is known to cover them with materials in the form of screens usually made of plastic.

Pour faciliter le repérage lorsque les fouilles sont réalisées à la pelle mécanique, il a en outre été proposé d'associer au grillage proprement dit des éléments qui se présentent sous forme de bandes longitudinales rectilignes et ont des résistances à l'allongement et à la rupture différentes de celles du grillage lui-même. To facilitate the identification when the excavations are carried out with a mechanical shovel, it has also been proposed to associate with the actual grating elements which are in the form of rectilinear longitudinal strips and have resistance to elongation and to breaking. different from those of the wire itself.

En pratique, les résistances des éléments en bandes sont supérieures. à celles du grillage, mais leur allongement est faible. Il en résulte que le but recherché n'est pas toujours atteint. Il s'avère en effet que, lorsque le godet d'une pelle mécanique provoque la rupture de l'ensemble grillage et bandes, les morceaux de bandes arrachés par le godet se rétractent dans la masse de matériaux saisis par le godet et que, de part et d'autre de la fouille, les bandes dont ont été séparés les morceaux précités se rétractent elles-mêmes plus ou moins dans ou le long des parois de la fouille. Le conducteur de la pelle ne décèle donc pas toujours la présence du matériau de repérage et risque ainsi de ne pas repérer la canalisation sous-jacente.In practice, the resistances of the strip elements are higher. to those of the mesh, but their elongation is low. As a result, the desired goal is not always achieved. It turns out that, when the bucket of a mechanical shovel causes the breakage of the mesh and strips assembly, the pieces of strips torn off by the bucket retract into the mass of materials grabbed by the bucket and that, on either side of the excavation, the strips from which the aforementioned pieces have been separated retract themselves more or less in or along the walls of the excavation. The shovel operator therefore does not always detect the presence of the marking material and thus risks not locating the underlying pipe.

L'invention écarte ce risque. Elle a pour objet à cet effet l'application nouvelle à la constitution du matériau de repérage d'une matière ayant la fois un coefficient d'allongement très élevé et une forte rémanence pour qu'après sa rupture consécutive à son allongement -elle demeure à l'état allongé. The invention eliminates this risk. It has for this purpose the new application to the constitution of the locating material of a material having both a very high coefficient of elongation and a high remanence so that after its rupture following its elongation -it remains at the lying state.

Il est dès lors concevable que si le matériau de repérage est constitué en une telle matière et est rompu lors d'une fouille réalisée par une pelle mécanique, des morceaux étirés de ce matériau apparaissent visiblement, d'une part, le long des parois de la fouille et, d'autre part, sur les côtés du godet de la pelle. It is therefore conceivable that if the locating material is made of such a material and is broken during an excavation carried out by a mechanical shovel, stretched pieces of this material visibly appear, on the one hand, along the walls of the excavation and, on the other hand, on the sides of the bucket of the shovel.

Pour la réalisation d'un matériau de repérage de canalisations souterraines, cette matière est utilisable sous forme de bandes rectilignes ; et un tel matériau peut être constitué par une ou de préférence par au moins deux bandes parallèles reliées entre elles par des éléments quelconques, par exemple un ou des fils en matière plastique. For the production of a material for locating underground pipes, this material can be used in the form of rectilinear strips; and such a material may consist of one or preferably by at least two parallel strips connected to one another by any elements, for example one or more plastics wires.

Suivant une forme préférée d'exécution, de telles bandes sont toutefois associées à un grillage en matière plastique sur lequel elles sont montées de façon libre, afin de pouvoir librement s'allonger, la seule condition impérative étant que le grillage soit constitué en une matière lui conférant un allongement inférieur à celui des bandes. Le nombre de ces bandes sur le grillage est avantageusement de deux. According to a preferred embodiment, such strips are however associated with a plastic mesh on which they are freely mounted, in order to be able to freely extend, the only imperative condition being that the mesh be made of a material. giving it a lower elongation than that of the strips. The number of these bands on the grid is advantageously two.

Diverses matières conviennent à la réalisation de ces bandes, sous réserve de posséder un coefficient d'allongement élevé et une forte rémanence. C'est ainsi qu'à titre d'exemple le matériau de repérage objet de l'invention est constitué par deux bandes parallèles en un polymère à base de polypropylène peu oupas orienté ou à base de copolymère éthylène-acétate de vinyle, reliées entre elles par un grillage en polyéthylène haute ou basse densité.  Various materials are suitable for the production of these bands, provided that they have a high coefficient of elongation and a high remanence. Thus, for example, the locating material which is the subject of the invention consists of two parallel strips of a polymer based on polypropylene which is not very oriented or based on an ethylene-vinyl acetate copolymer, linked together by a mesh of high or low density polyethylene.
