Abstract[English]
An underwater floating pipeline with the ability to self-maintain desired depth beneath the water giving the ability to connect distant locations. The sections maintain and alter buoyancy for repair and maintenance. Multi chambered pipes allow different rates of flow. Automatic snap-shut doors protect against leaks and loss of pressure. Warning systems alert those in proximity to the pipeline. Freight may use the tunnels to avoid adverse surface weather and high shipping cost and fuel and labour savings.[French]
Un pipeline flottant sous-marin ayant la capacité d'auto-maintenir la profondeur souhaitée au-dessous de l'eau permet de relier des emplacements distants. Les sections maintiennent et modifient la flottabilité pour la réparation et la maintenance. Des pipelines à chambres multiples permettent différents débits d'écoulement. Des portes à fermeture rapide automatiques protègent contre les fuites et la perte de pression. Des systèmes d'avertissement alertent ceux à proximité du pipeline. Le fret peut utiliser les tunnels pour éviter des conditions météorologiques de surface défavorables et un coût d'expédition élevé, et pour des économies de carburant et de main d’œuvre.
