Ice screws ... Push the ice screw into the ice while twisting the hanger by hand in a clockwise direction to get it started. Placing the ice screw at waist level allows you to push harder and turn the screw with less effort. Continue to turn the ice screw handle by hand until the hanger nearly contacts the ice surface. Chip away any fractured ice using your ice axe, then turn the ice screw handle the remainder of the way. Align the hanger so that it hangs downward—in the direction of pull. ... When possible, choose an ice screw length that will not bottom out on rock underneath the ice. Turning your ice screw into rock will damage the teeth and can fracture the ice. 3, record 1, English, - ice%20screw

The tubular, hollow-core ice screw... minimizes fracturing of the ice because the displaced ice moves up into the core of the screw... it has four cutting teeth and a conical interior. The tip of the cone is the toothed end of the screw. As ice enters the cone it can expand. The core fills with ice chips that are easy to clean out by tapping the screw against a hammer of axe head. 4, record 1, English, - ice%20screw

Broches à glace. [...] Poussez la broche dans la glace en tournant manuellement la patte d'amarrage dans le sens des aiguilles d'une montre afin d'amorcer la broche. Le fait de poser une broche à hauteur de taille permet de pousser plus fort et de visser la broche en faisant moins d'efforts. Continuez à tourner la manivelle de la broche manuellement jusqu'à ce que la patte d'amarrage soit presque en contact avec la surface de la glace. Raclez toute glace craquelée à l'aide de votre piolet puis vissez le restant du pas de vis avec la manivelle.

British Gas and Tracto-Technik jointly developed the technology called pipe bursting, which "allows the replacement of cast iron, clay, cement, and other fracturable pipes with a new main of the same or larger size for water, sewer, or production lines. "... Pipe bursting involves digging an entry pit at one end of the failed pipe and running a pneumatic pipe-bursting tool and an expander into the pipe through the pit opening. The pipe-bursting tool is a soil displacement hammer fitted with cutting blades. A steel line, attached to the head of the tool and to a winch on the other end of the pipe, keeps the line tight and helps guide the tools. As the pipe burster hammers through old pipe, the expander moves broken fragments and dirt out of the way to make room for new pipe, which is attached to the back of the tool and follows it into the void. After the new pipe is in place, crews connect service laterals at specified locations. 2, record 4, English, - pipe%20bursting

Le développement de nouveaux procédés pour la réhabilitation de conduites existantes, ceci afin d'augmenter leur durée de vie, a débuté dans les années 70. Le tubage ou l'insertion d'une petite conduite à l'intérieur de l'ancienne, était déjà utilisé depuis un certain temps. Les nouvelles méthodes consistaient: a) en l'utilisation d'une technique d'éclatement pour retirer l'ancienne conduite et la remplacer simultanément avec une nouvelle et b) en la fabrication in situ d'un nouveau revêtement en insérant une gaine imprégnée de résine dans la conduite existante afin de former une nouvelle conduite structurellement indépendante [après séchage]. 2, record 4, French, - %C3%A9clatement

Parmi les techniques les plus utilisées : l'injection, qui consiste à aller placer sous pression des résines ou des gels sur les défauts ponctuels grâce à un appareillage guidé depuis la surface; le gainage ou chemisage continu, qui permet de reconstituer la paroi interne de la conduite, également à partir de résines; enfin le tubage qui permet d'introduire une conduite de diamètre inférieur dans le tronçon à réhabiliter ou dans une voie libérée après broyage ou éclatement de la conduite défectueuse. 4, record 4, French, - %C3%A9clatement

The best means of cutting pipe is with the use of a snap type cutter which has sharp hardened cutting wheels. In the past plumbers used a cold chisel and hammer, but due to technological change in the manufacture of the pipe, the iron has become more difficult to cut by this means.
