A manhole includes a device for safely closing and locking the manhole, which has a cylinder with centering pins that is attached to a slab and is rotatable with an operating key acting on the pins, and further includes an anti-burglary block, which in locked position is positioned inside the cylinder and hides and protects an anti-theft bolt positioned inside a hole, which crosses the entire anti-burglary block and has a larger diameter at the front and the same diameter as the anti-theft bolt in the back, so as to receive the anti-theft bolt in a threaded spot in the inner wall of the cylinder and enable placement of the anti-theft bolt in the body of the anti-burglary block when totally tightened into the threaded spot, wherein the end of the anti-theft bolt, in closed position, is housed in a locking hole on a circular support of the cover.

A manhole cover assembly comprises a base frame, the base frame comprising a base body and a base flange extending laterally outward from the base body. The assembly further comprises a top frame, the top frame comprising a top body disposed annularly about at least a portion of the base body, a top flange extending laterally outward from the top body, and a lip extending laterally inward from the top body.

A system and method are disclosed for sealing an annular manhole riser ring assembly. A generally flat, bendable liner includes a flat strip that is generally conformably engageable with an interior circumferential surface of the riser ring assembly. An outer surface of the liner strip carries a plurality of spacer elements that form a void between the generally flat liner strip and the engaged inner circumferential surface of the riser ring assembly. An expandable tensioning device is operated to press the riser ring assembly against the circumferential surface of the riser ring assembly. A flexible bonding substance is introduced into the void and allowed to set to seal the riser ring assembly.

Seal arrangement for a joint of two joint elements, in particular realized as a monopile and a transition piece, of an offshore structure, preferably an offshore wind energy installation, in particular a substructure thereof, in which, for the purpose of producing a stable joint, an upper joint element and a lower joint element are inserted into each other in a clamping manner by means of at least one seal unit, comprising one of the joint elements and the at least one seal unit fixed to the joint element, in such a manner that the seal unit, in a joining position, is arranged between an inner joint surface of one joint element and an outer joint surface of the other joint element, at least one seal unit having at least one elastic sealing element, which extends in the circumferential direction around the entire circumference and the thickness (D) of which is greater than the thickness (D) of an adjoining seal unit region and method for producing a seal arrangement.

An offshore structure that includes a pile of a foundation and at least one offshore element mounted on the pile and forming a slip joint, wherein disposed between an inner surface of the offshore element and an outer surface of the pile is a coating, especially an anti-fouling coating, for increasing friction between the two surfaces and/or preventing corrosion of one or both of the surfaces and/or at least two spaced apart areas are provided with a substance, forming a seal between the outer surface and the inner surface, near an upper end of the pile and the off shore element and between a lower end of the off shore element and the pile.

The present invention provides a foot frame bottom plate type fixed part, a sealed inner lining structure, an underground chamber, belonging to the field of compressed air energy storage technology. The skeleton includes a fixed bottom plate and an umbrella shaped tripod, which is equipped with a connecting part and an umbrella shaped part. The umbrella shaped part is set at the top of the connecting part. The umbrella shaped tripod is fixedly connected to the fixed bottom plate in the length direction, forming a semi open containment space clamp. The sealing inner lining structure includes an airtight layer and a foot rest bottom plate shaped fixed part. The underground chamber includes a concrete lining layer and a sealed lining structure. Its construction period is shorter than that of welded steel plates, and the cost is lower.

A wind turbine foundation structure comprising a hollow structural element with a circumferential wall extending in the longitudinal direction. A first cable feed-through breaking through the wall is arranged in the wall. A transition piece with an overlap region projects into the hollow structural element and a transition region projects out of the hollow structural element at the end face. A circumferential wall extends in the longitudinal direction. A second cable feed-through which breaks through the wall is arranged in the overlap region in the wall. The first and the second cable feed-through bear against one another in an at least partially overlapping manner in the assembled state of the hollow structural element and the transition piece.
