English

Subject field(s)
  • Construction Site Equipment

DEF

A bailing device with a release valve, usually of the disk or flapper type, that is used to place or spot material (as cement slurry) at the bottom of a well.

CONT

This technique... called laying in a plug... may be accomplished by placing the cement with a dump-bottom bailer on a wire line or by pumping cement down the drill pipe or tubing.

OBS

dump bailer; dump-bottom bailer: These terms are more general than "cement dump bailer," since they are used for cement or any other slurry material.

Key term(s)
  • dump bottom bailer

French

Domaine(s)
  • Matériel de chantier
  • Outillage (Extraction du pétrole et du gaz)
DEF

[Dispositif] servant à déposer à l'aide d'un câble un bouchon de ciment au fond d'un puits.

OBS

cuiller de cimentation; cuillère de cimentation; cuiller pour mise en place du ciment : Ces termes, qui s'appliquent à la mise en place du ciment, sont plus spécifiques que les termes anglais «dump bailer» ou «dump-bottom bailer» qui peuvent s'appliquer à d'autres matériaux.

Subject field(s)
  • Oil Drilling
  • Boring and Drilling (Mines)
DEF

To unscrew the drill stem into single joints and place them on the pipe rack.

OBS

The operation takes place upon completion of the well, prior to running casing, when the drill pipe will no longer be used, or when changing from one size of pipe to another. This also is called laying down.

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
  • Transport of Water (Water Supply)
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

Microtunnelling is becoming increasingly important. Whether house connections, gas and water pipelines, pipe renovation or laying cables-the principle of underground pipe-jacking has proven successful. Essential advantages are environmentally friendly processes, minimized disturbance to public highways, easy working in urban areas, economical management... Auger material removal will be applied in soil without ground water. The advantages of the auger system : Simpler machine design than the AVN system and direct discharge of the excavated material, especially with cohesive ground.

CONT

Microtunneling specifications... The measuring and balancing of earth and ground water pressure shall be achieved by use of a slurry or cased auger system. The system shall be capable of incremental adjustments to maintain face stability for the soil conditions encountered... The system shall monitor and continuously balance the soil and ground water pressure. The system shall be capable of adjustments required to maintain face stability for the particular soil condition to be encountered to prevent loss of soil or uncontrolled ground water inflow.

Key term(s)
  • microtunneling auger system
  • microtunnelling auger system

French

Domaine(s)
  • Égouts et drainage
  • Adduction d'eau (Alimentation en eau)
  • Canalisations à grande distance
DEF

Type d'appareil de creusage utilisé pour le microtunnelage.

CONT

Le système à la tarière incorpore une série de tarières hélicoïdales pour transporter le sol de la tête de coupe vers le puits d'entrée. La tête de coupe est reliée directement à la tarière et est mue par un moteur situé dans le puits d'entrée.

Subject field(s)
  • Sewers and Drainage
  • Transport of Water (Water Supply)
  • Long-Distance Pipelines
CONT

Microtunneling is defined in the U.S. as a remotely controlled, laser-guided pipe-jacking process that does not require personnel entry for the excavation and mucking process... the most common applications of microtunneling methods typically involve "no-man entry", or small diameter tunnels, hence the name.

CONT

Microtunnelling systems, pipejacking up to 3. 8 meters diameter with modular remote control power packs can be supplied. Machines are available for house connections, pilot pipe methods, blind hole drilling, non man entry sewer connections and flexible pipe laying.

CONT

Trenchless techniques damage repair in non-man-entry sewers.

Key term(s)
  • no man entry
  • no-man-entry
  • non-man entry
  • non-accessible
  • non accessible

Domaine(s)
  • Égouts et drainage
  • Adduction d'eau (Alimentation en eau)
  • Canalisations à grande distance
DEF

[Se dit d'un] Ouvrage dont l'accès et les dimensions internes ne permettent pas le passage d'un ouvrier.

OBS

Les réseaux d'assainissement représentent en France, un linéaire de 150 000 km, constituant un patrimoine évalué à 45 milliards d'euros. L'objectif de ce travail est la mise au point d'une stratégie pour l'étude du vieillissement et l'optimisation de la maintenance d'un réseau d'assainissement non-visitable.

OBS

semi-submersible pipe-laying barge

OBS

The early lay barges could lay only one or two kilometres of pipe a day and had to suspend operations in even moderate seas. Modern vessels are designed on the ship or semi-submersible style and are more stable in rough seas than conventional barges. They also offer greatly increased deck and storage space, and some have six welding positions, making it possible to line-up, weld, X-ray and lay continuously at a fast rate. Laying rate is helped by using articulated stingers, especially in deep water.

Key term(s)
  • semisubmersible pipe-laying barge

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
  • Canalisations à grande distance
