CONT

Stable belts were part of the uniform termed "stable dress. "It is probable that they were first worn in the British army around the 1880s by the cavalry who were issued a specially designed uniform to avoid damaging their much finer... full dress uniforms when mucking out the stables and tending to their horses.... Buckles became popular in the British army where the wearing of such belts with different clasps and colours could distinguish units when in working dress... Thus was born the stable belt, a broad and eventually colourful belt with the buckles or clasps on the hip to avoid injuring the horses when working with them...

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.

Subject field(s)
  • Mine Passages
CONT

Primary stopes are backfilled with cemented rock fill produced by spraying a cement-fly ash slurry on the rockfill before it is distributed to the stopes. The cemented rockfill hardens into a solid mass forming an artificial pillar for mining the secondary stope. The cement slurry is generally not required when secondary stopes are backfilled, except for the last pours to establish a firm mucking floor.

OBS

rock filling: Waste rock, used to fill up worked-out stopes to support the roof.
