Development, Test, and Evaluation of a Underwater Grout-Dispensing System for Use by Divers.
Abstract
Diver installed seafloor fasteners are used extensively to stabilize oceanographic cables and to secure structures to rocky areas of the ocean bottom. As part of a program aimed at improving the quality of these seafloor fasteners, an experimental diver-operated grout-dispensing system was developed to be used in conjunction with various groutable fasteners. The experimental grout dispenser consists of a low-speed, high-torque hydraulic motor coupled to a progressing cavity grout pump and underwater exchangeable hoppers which allow continuous pumping of premixed grout at 3 gpm and 80 psi over ambient pressure.
