English

Subject field(s)
  • Tunnels, Overpasses and Bridges
CONT

The number of trains that can enter Manhattan directly is limited by the capacity of the tunnels under the Hudson River. ... Construction of an additional under-river tunnel would be extremely expensive and take years, perhaps decades, to complete. It is not even on the drawing boards at this time. NJ Transit has promised to look for other solutions that could get us in, but they have not found any so far.

CONT

Querying and Creating Maps. ... roads should be drawn over rivers (unless there is a sub-river tunnel for the road).

CONT

Design of parallel mutually influencing undersea and under-river tunnel linings.

... a working area on an offshore platform ...

OBS

More specifically it applies to the horizontal barge of a jack-up rig, the platform above the hull of a semi-submersible, and the prefabricated section of a permanent platform which is installed on the jacket, and on which the deck modules, drilling equipment and production plant are installed.

Domaine(s)
  • Forage des puits de pétrole
CONT

Le pont [de la plate-forme «G.B.S.»] est calculé pour supporter des modules et/ou équipements d’un poids total estimé à 25.500 t, y compris la structure et 18.000 t durant la phase de remorquage.

CONT

La stabilité de la structure durant l'immersion est l'un des problèmes critiques que pose une plateforme à caisson immergée. Plus le pont est léger pendant cette phase, plus le centre de gravité est bas et plus la stabilité est grande. Pour cette raison un grand nombre de plates-formes sont conçues avec des ponts métalliques.
