摘要:
An apparatus and method for forming a support pier having a single or multiple compacted aggregate lifts in a soil matrix, wherein the apparatus includes a vertical, hollow tube with a bulbous leading end or head element that is forced into the soil matrix. The hollow tube includes a mechanism for releasing aggregate from the lower head element of the tube as the tube is lifted incrementally. The same hollow tube is then utilized to compact the released aggregate. The process may be repeated to form a series of compacted lifts comprising a pier.

Systems and methods relating to subterranean drilling while maintaining containment of any contaminants released during the drilling. A thrust block installed over a zone of interest provides an overflow space for retaining any contaminants and excess sealant returns. Negative air pressure may be maintained in the overflow space by a ventilation system. Access ports in the thrust block seal the overflow space from the surrounding environment with a membrane seal. A flexible sack seal in the access port may be connected to a drill shroud prior to drilling, providing containment during drilling after the drill bit penetrates the membrane seal. The drill shroud may be adapted to any industry standard drilling rig and includes a connection conduit for connecting to the flexible sack seal and a flexible enclosure surrounding the drill shaft and of a length to accommodate full extension thereof. Upon withdrawal, the sack seal may be closed off and separated, maintaining containment of the overflow space and the drill shroud.
摘要:
The invention relates to polymer-modified earthwork materials, containing a) a mineral main constituent based on sand, grit and/or gravel and b) at least one hydrophobic synthetic polymer that is uniformly distributed in the mineral main constituent. The invention also relates to a method for the production of said materials and to a method for the fortification of earth.

A process for immobilizing impurities present in silt This invention relates to a process for immobilizing, inactivating and/or neutralizing impurities present in silt, the silt layer being covered with a layer of a material in finely distributed state, after which at least part of the silt layer is worked loose, a hardenable additive composition is injected in the silt layer and is mixed with the silt layer for binding, immobilizing, inactivating and/or neutralizing the impurities in the silt.
摘要:
A method is disclosed for the degradation of persistent contaminants in 5 soil. The method provides the combination of a stabilizing reagent and a degradative reagent where both are admixed into a contaminated soil site for the reduction of permeability at the site and the chemical degradation of the contaminant over time.
摘要:
A method for introducing a moisture-impermeable layer into the ground, wherein the moisture-impermeable layer is placed into the ground in a trench, which trench is supported by one or more casing members and filled with a clay-containing mixture of dry solids, which mixture can form a moisture-resistant gel, comprising powdery or pulverized smectite and/or smectite-containing natural rock and a water-soluble polymer.
摘要:
A system is provided for creating at least one conduit in a borehole formed in an earth formation. The system comprises a device which includes movement means for moving the device in longitudinal direction through the borehole, and injection means for injecting a hardenable substance into the borehole so as to form, for each said conduit, a layer of hardened substance in the borehole behind the device, said layer defining the conduit. The system further comprises control means for controlling the rate of injection of said substance by the injection means so as to correspond with the rate of movement of the device through the borehole by the movement means.
摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for sealing rock or soil comprising inserting a sealing composition obtained by mixing a silica sol and at least one gelling agent, wherein the silica sol has an S-value higher than about 72%, a method for preparing the sealing composition and the composition obtained from the method.

A resin nozzle positioner for a rock bolter, having a frame supporting feed tracks traversed by a drill and a bolt driver, has a resin nozzle that guides a resin sausage into a hole drilled along a work axis. A positioner base is fixed to the frame and two arms are pivotably connected to the positioner base and to a nozzle block, to which the resin nozzle is mounted. The arms remain parallel and move such that the resin nozzle remains parallel to the work axis while moving along an arc between a retracted position, where the resin nozzle is spaced apart from the work axis, and an extended position, where the resin nozzle is aligned with the work axis. An actuator operably connected to two elements selected from the arms, the positioner base, and the nozzle block serves to move the resin nozzle.
摘要:
An easily shaped evacuated porous stonelike body is impregnated in a consistent manner with a fluid polymer forming composition or molten polymer composition and solidified to form a polymeric matrix stone product bearing a striking resemblance to a natural rock in texture, structure, and formation exhibited throughout any substantial cross section. The polymeric composition is decoratively enhanced by the labyrinthic skeletal framework of the porous body and the skeletal framework is structurally enhanced by the polymeric composition. The method of forming the product closely duplicates the natural formation of most of the rocks exposed at the surface of the earth. Therefore, a wide range of stonelike textures are now available in a dimensional stock product of pre-determined size and shape. A wide range of chemical and physical properties are also possible depending upon the specific combination of porous bodies and solidified polymeric compositions. A solid surface article with an impregnated and solidified synthetic resin matrix is provided for a wide range of ornamental and architectural uses.
