Prefabricated yoke for stabilizing a pipe, stabilization method and application.

摘要

The invention relates to a prefabricated yoke (L, T, L ') for stabilizing a pipe (C) placed on the bottom of the sea and exposed to the effect of waves and currents, consisting of two blocks of rigid ballast (L, L ') mounted in opposition to the opposite ends of a crossbar (T) to which they are articulated so that their attitudes can vary independently, each block having a front face (L, L'1) to contact one side of the pipe, the crossbar (T) being adapted to take a curved configuration and the length of the crossbar being chosen so that the cross is stretched by the blocks on the pipe, the blocks being simultaneously at least in contact with the driving and in contact with the ground. BR/ The invention applies in particular to the stabilization of pipes located in highly exposed sites, in shallow water, likely to be subjected to breaking waves and strong currents. / P
