Modification Of Geotextile Tubes
US Patent:
6623214, Sep 23, 2003
Filed:
May 2, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/135939
Inventors:
Gerald J. Hauske - Corpus Christi TX
James A. Shiner - Corpus Christi TX
James A. Shiner - Corpus Christi TX
Assignee:
Shiner Moseley Associates, Inc. - Corpus Christi TX
International Classification:
E02D 1720
US Classification:
4053027, 405 32, 428 63
Abstract:
An opening in a fabric geotextile tube is closed by clamping a backing member and friction enhancer on the inside of the geotextile tube to a friction enhancer and support on the outside of the geotextile tube. The friction enhancers reduce slippage between the fabric and the backing member on the inside of the tube and between the fabric and the support on the outside of the tube. The backing member is larger than the opening. In one embodiment, the backing member is inserted into the opening by providing a slit ring backing member, inserting the fabric through the slit and then rotating the ring and advancing the ring into the geotextile tube. In another embodiment, the backing member is inserted through the opening in segments. In another embodiment, an inlet assembly is provided by the support. In another embodiment of the invention, a connection is made to the geotextile tube for securing a UV protective cover to the geotextile tube.
Technique For Locating Submerged And Buried Pipelines
US Patent:
4995168, Feb 26, 1991
Filed:
Aug 7, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/390385
Inventors:
James A. Shiner - Corpus Christi TX
International Classification:
G01B 520
US Classification:
33529
Abstract:
Apparatus for locating submerged buried pipelines includes a barge having a template providing a multiplicity of probes lowerable into the sea floor to contact the pipeline. A trench is excavated perpendicular to the pipeline by injecting air and/or water through the probe. Each of the probes includes an enlarged foot preferably longer in a dimension perpendicular to the pipeline than parallel to it.
