Assembled tremie placing concrete underwater Hopper, pipes and lifting cap components of a tremie concrete placement tube. A tremie is a watertight pipe, usually of about 250 mm inside diameter (150 to 300 mm), [1] with a conical hopper at its upper end above the water level. It may have a loose plug or a valve at the bottom end.
One of the earliest and most critical tasks in a submarine pipeline planning exercise is the route selection. [5] This selection has to consider a variety of issues, some of a political nature, but most others dealing with geohazards, physical factors along the prospective route, and other uses of the seabed in the area considered.
Underwater concrete placement, by Tremie, skip, Pumped concrete, toggle bags, bagwork, usually to build foundations or coastal structures, and [6] grouted aggregate. [6] [7] Underwater rock blasting, or dredging of softer sediments, to clear an area of a navigational hazard, to excavate a canal or basin, or to prepare for foundations.
Schematic cross section of a pressurized caisson. In geotechnical engineering, a caisson (/ ˈ k eɪ s ən,-s ɒ n /; borrowed from French caisson 'box', from Italian cassone 'large box', an augmentative of cassa) is a watertight retaining structure [1] used, for example, to work on the foundations of a bridge pier, for the construction of a concrete dam, [2] or for the repair of ships.
The bubble moves water through the pipe sucking debris from the lower end and depositing it from the upper end of the pipe. Ejected debris can be either cast off (as in simply removing overburden ) or collected in a mesh cage for inspection (as more often is the case in nautical archaeology).
Haldane's decompression model is a mathematical model for decompression to sea level atmospheric pressure of divers breathing compressed air at ambient pressure that was proposed in 1908 by the Scottish physiologist, John Scott Haldane (2 May 1860 – 14/15 March 1936), [1] who was also famous for intrepid self-experimentation.
