A section of an uninsulated pipeline, 90 ft (27.4 m) long and 2 ft (0.61 m) in diameter, was buried in ice-rich permafrost at the Mackenzie Valley Pipe Line Research Limited Inuvik Test Facility. Oil at 160 °F (71 °C) was circulated through the pipe from July 1971 to January 1972 causing a thaw bulb to develop around it. 2, record 2, English, - thaw%20bulb

Lors du dégel, la fonte de la glace contenue dans les sols provoque un tassement du sol. Or, les installations humaines renforcent voire initient ce processus qui constitue un problème majeur en Sibérie du Nord. En effet, gaz et pétrole sont transportés chauds dans des pipes parfois enterrés. Autour de ceux-ci, un bulbe de dégel se développe année après année. Lepremier stade s’exprime en surface par l’apparition d’eau stagnante et une modification des espèces végétales. Le pipeline devient peu à peu visible, souligné par une bande marécageuse où mousses et lichens font place à des formations de linaigrettes caractéristiques des marais. 4, record 2, French, - bulbe%20de%20d%C3%A9gel

On a enterré un tuyau de pipe-line non isolé de 90 pieds(27. 4 m) de longueur et de deux pieds(0. 61 m) de diamètre dans du pergélisol riche en glace au centre d’essais d’Inuvik de la Mackenzie Valley Pipe Line Research Limitée. On a fait circuler dans le tuyau de l'huile à 160 °F(71 °C) de juillet 1971 à janvier 1972, ce qui provoqua la formation d’un bulbe de dégel autour du pipe-line. 5, record 2, French, - bulbe%20de%20d%C3%A9gel

Sous les installations ou ouvrages linéaires aménagés dans les zones pergélisolées, tels les remblais routiers ou les pipelines souterrains réchauffés, le bulbe de dégel peut accompagner l’ouvrage sur toute sa longueur. [...] Un bulbe de dégel peut aussi se former lorsqu’une structure ou une installation autour de laquelle s’est formé un bulbe de gel est laissée à l’abandon et lorsque la température du sol n’est plus maintenue au dessous de 0 °C. 3, record 2, French, - bulbe%20de%20d%C3%A9gel

Artificial moisture or irrigation.... Manual or automatic underground sprinkler systems. These systems will vary as to GPM [gallon per minute] requirements, depending on the number of sprinkler heads in simultaneous operation. Minimal supply volume and pressure, for example, would be about 40 GPM at 50 psi [pound per square inch] to operate four sprinkler heads with sufficient operational radius to cover a tennis court. 3, record 5, English, - underground%20sprinkler%20system
