Method Of Setting, Resetting And Protecting Poles In The Ground With Foam Polyurethane Resins

US Patent:
5466094, Nov 14, 1995
Filed:
Jan 13, 1994
Appl. No.:
8/180951
Inventors:
Norman R. Kirby - Alvin TX
Richard S. Schmidt - Houston TX
Assignee:
Forward Enterprises - Houston TX
International Classification:
F02D 700
US Classification:
405232
Abstract:
An improvement in the known method of setting or resetting poles in the ground or ground line protection of encapsulation of pole treatment chemicals in the ground and enhancement of the strength, density, ratio of foam polyurethane resins formed in-situ from polyisocyanate and resin reactive therewith. Ground water and detrimental natural soil chemicals are often encountered in pole setting and affect polyurethane foam formation by undesirably reacting with the polyurethane to give a foam of insufficient density and strength. This improvement comprises stabilizing the highly reactive isocyanate component by pre-reacting to form a prepolymer. This composition decreases the cost per unit of foam per pole installation. There is also the method for the addition to the polyurethane composition of various repellant materials and preservative agents for the pole.

Method Of Setting, Resetting And Protecting Poles In The Ground With Foam Polyurethane Resins

US Patent:
4966497, Oct 30, 1990
Filed:
Aug 30, 1989
Appl. No.:
7/400645
Inventors:
Norman R. Kirby - Alvin TX
Assignee:
Utility Structural Systems - Houston TX
International Classification:
E02D 526
US Classification:
405232
Abstract:
An improvement in the known method of setting or resetting poles in the ground or ground line treatment or ecapsulation of pole treatment chemicals in the ground and enhancement of the strength, density, ratio of foam polyurethane resins formed in-situ from polyisocyanate and resin reactive therewith. Ground water and detrimental natural soil chemicals are often encountered in pole setting and affect polyurethane foam formation by undesirably reacting with the polyurethane to give a foam of insufficient density and strength. This improvement comprises adding to a non-volitale water-immiscible material, catalyst and a non-halogenated blowing agent by the normal polyurethane components. This composition decreases the cost per unit of the polyurethane foam. There is also the method for the addition to the polyurethane composition of various repellant materials and preservative agents for the pole.
