Definitions

  • the water located within the said tube is removed after forming a concrete plug at the base of said tube, and after this concrete has set in the annular space, longitudinal openings are made in the interior of the said tube so as to expose the inner surface of said casing through the thickness of the set concrete.
  • the edges of these openings are connected to the inner surface of said casing by means of packingpieces arranged in the space between said casing and said tube 2 Claims, 3 Drawing Figures METHOD OF SECURING A LARGE-DIAMETER TUBE TO A CASING UNDERWATER
  • the present invention relates to a method of securing a large-diameter tube to a casing under water, in particular where harbour or river installations are concerned.
  • the invention suggests a method, the application of which requires only simple means.
  • the invention thus has as an object a method of securing a large-diameter tube to a casing submerged under water, one end of which casing rests on a submerged bed, one end of the tube being driven into the underwater floor inside the casing while the other end is in free air.
  • concrete or mortar (these two terms being used interchangeably in what follows) is injected via the base of the easing into the annular space defined by the tube and the said casing so as to drive the water therefrom, and the water situated inside the tube is then removed after a concrete plug has been formed at the base of said tube. Furthermore, after the mortar has set in the annular space, longitudinal openings are made in the inside tube so as to expose the inner surface of the casing, and the edges of the openings are finally connected, by welding for example, to the inner surface of the casing by means of packingpieces arranged in the space between the casing and the tube.
  • an elastic annular chamber arranged inside the upper part of the casing, before it is submerged, is inflated with high-pressure air and then with concrete, before the mortar is injected into the annular space, so as to grasp the tube and cut off the upper part of the annular space from the surrounding water, the water contained in this space being then expelled through orifices formed for this purpose in the casing and equipped with means for retaining the mortar.
  • FIG. 1 is a diagram giving a general concept of the method
  • FIG. 2 is a detail view showing one phase of the method
  • FIG. 3 is a section along line III-III of FIG. 2.
  • one end of a tube 1 is driven into the bed e.g. of a river, through a casing 2 which is completely submerged and rests on this bed, while the other end of the tube 1 is in free air.
  • the casing 2 is provided with an annular elastic chamber 7 arranged therewithin.
  • the method consists firstly in inflating this chamber 7 through an orifice 8 thereof with highpressure air, and then in replacing this air with mortar.
  • mortar is injected under pressure into this annular space 3 via an opening 4 formed in the base of the casing 2.
  • Other openings formed in the casing 2 and marked 10 in FIG. 1 enable the water expelled by the injection of mortar to escape.
  • These openings 10, which are located :at different levels on the casing 2, enable the build-up of the mortar injected into the space 3 to be checked are are equipped with means for retaining the said concrete.
  • a concrete plug 5 is next formed within the tube 1 at the base of the latter so as to cut off from the bed the water contained in the tube 1, which is pumped away, and so as to prevent water seeping into this tube through the underwater floor.
  • openings 6 in this tube see also FIG. 2 and thus to expose part of the inner surface of the casing 2 through the thickness of hardened mortar contained in the annular space 3.
  • the edges of the openings 6 are then connected, by welding for example, as shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, to the inner surface of the casing 2 by means of packing-pieces ill between the tube I and the outer 2, the thickness of which is equal to that of the mortar removed.
  • the advantage of such a method resides in the fact that it enables welding operations to be carried out in atmospheric air and thus removes all the disadvantages presented by such operations when carried out under water. Furthermore, the mortar-filled chamber 7 is of advantage in making itpossible initially to hold the tube'l steady transversely in relation to the casing 2, which makes it easier for the mortar to be injected into, and to set in, the annular space 3.
  • the invention may find significant application in the field of sub-structural work in the sea or in rivers where the setting up of pylons, bridge-piles, etc., with submerged bases is concerned.
  • a method according to claim 1 including, prior to said step of injecting concrete into said annular space, the steps of placing an annular elastic chamber inside the upper part of said casing before it is submerged, in-
  • annular space is expelled through orifices in said casing during said injecting step, said orifices being equipped with means for retaining the concrete.
