Abstract

A ground plug for stabilizing a dike, includes a plug front end suitable for being driven into a dike, and an elongate plug body, wherein the plug body is provided with a pressure distributing member arranged to prevent earth flow in a direction perpendicular to a length direction of the plug, and the plug front end includes a recess for receiving a drive member.

Abstract

A method of stabilizing a dike using a ground anchor assembly, includes: connecting a ground anchor to a first end of a tensile member; introducing the ground anchor through the earth body and into a stable layer beneath the dike; providing a pressure distributing member on or around the tensile member at a position within the dike where stabilization against lateral earth movement is required; and connecting a second end of the tensile member to a counter member at an outer surface of the dike.

Abstract

A method for pipe laying, includes the step of vertically forcing a generally rigid pipe section in a substantially vertical direction downwards from a position above ground towards a desired pipe section position in the ground, wherein the pipe section maintains a substantially horizontal position upon forcing the pipe section downwards. The vertically forcing a generally rigid pipe section in a substantially vertical direction downwards is beneficial for pipe laying because time consuming digging of a slit is not required anymore.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for applying a pivoting ground anchor on considerable depth, the anchor comprising; - a first coupling member for temporary coupling the anchor with a driving rod to drive the anchor to the considerable depth; and, - a tension member for coupling the anchor to the object to be anchored, - a second coupling member which fixedly couples the anchor to the tension member, wherein the tension member is of one piece and has a considerable length for applying the pivoting ground anchor on considerable depth, and wherein the method comprises the step; continuously supplying the tension member to the ground anchor without interruption during driving the ground anchor to the considerable depth.
