Abstract

En fremgangsmåte og et system for reverserbar etablering av en lukket, strømningsugjennomtrengelig kryogenisk barriere (30) omkring et forhåndsbestemt volum som strekker seg nedover fra et oppdemningssted på jordeoverflåten. En rekke av borehull (40) i barrieren strekker seg nedover fra adskilte lokaliteter på periferien til oppdemningsstedet. En strøm av et kjølemiddelmedium etableres i barrierens borehull (40) hvorved vannet i jordens deler nærliggende til barrierens borehull (40) fryser for å etablere issøyler som strekker seg radielt omkring borehullene. Sideveis avstand mellom borehullene (40) og radien til issøylene velges slik at nærliggende issøyler overlapper hverandre. De overlappende issøylene etablerer kollektivt en lukket, strømningsugjennomtrengelig barriere omkring det forhåndsbestemte volumet som ligger under oppdemningsstedet. Systemet kan oppdage og utbedre potensielle brudd på grunn av termiske, geologiske eller kjemiske inntreng- ninger.A method and system for reversibly establishing a closed, flow impervious cryogenic barrier (30) about a predetermined volume extending downward from a damming site on the soil surface. A series of boreholes (40) in the barrier extend downward from separate sites on the periphery to the containment site. A stream of coolant medium is established in the barrier borehole (40) whereby the water in the parts of the earth adjacent to the barrier borehole (40) freezes to establish ice columns extending radially around the boreholes. The lateral distance between the boreholes (40) and the radius of the ice columns is chosen so that adjacent ice columns overlap. The overlapping ice columns collectively establish a closed, flow impervious barrier around the predetermined volume below the containment site. The system can detect and rectify potential violations due to thermal, geological or chemical intrusions.
