A device designed to stabilize a shoreline which helps to prevent erosion, provides and supports a place for aquatic life to thrive, and is made from a plurality of primarily calcium carbonate material sourced from living creatures and is cemented together using a commercially available cement or bio-cement material.

Exemplary embodiments are disclosed of liners, linings, and liquid containment vessels including the same. Also disclosed are exemplary method of providing liners and linings for liquid containment vessels, such as process tanks, immersion tanks, containment pits, gravity feed conduits for transferring or conveying liquid, etc. In an exemplary embodiment, a liner or lining is anchored to at least one structural component by at least one extrusion weld and at least one mechanical fastener. The mechanical fastener is coupled to the structural component. The extrusion weld is coupled to the mechanical fastener. The liner or lining may be anchored to a wide range of structural components, such as a frame, a framework, a frame member, a tank, a wall, a support member, a reinforcing member, an outer shell, a substrate (e.g., concrete, etc.) or sidewalls defining a pit or a gravity feed conduit, combinations thereof, other structures or components, etc.

A pressure compensator is disclosed for a subsea electric installation, which includes a rigid bottle and a flexible bag placed in the rigid bottle, the pressure compensator including a first opening at a first end of the pressure compensator allowing fluid communication of an insulating medium arranged to intermediate space between the rigid bottle and the flexible bag, a second opening at a second end of the pressure compensator allowing fluid communication of seawater arranged within the flexible bag; and a bypass channel providing fluid communication between two points in the intermediate space of the pressure compensator.

An improved sensor fish with robust design and enhanced measurement capabilities. This sensor fish contains sensors for acceleration, rotation, magnetic field intensity, pressure, and temperature. A low-power microcontroller collects data from the sensors and stores up to 5 minutes of data on a non-volatile flash memory. A rechargeable battery supplies power to the sensor fish. A recovery system helps locating sensor fish. The package, when ready for use is nearly neutrally buoyant and thus mimics the behavior of an actual fish.

A buoy and mooring system provides a robust buoy protective of markings thereon, easily retrieved for inspection and service, weighted and levered for maintaining self-righting, vertical orientation and anchored with a non-corroding system of connectors and links running from surface to sea floor. A mid-line float resists entanglement, and can be installed or uninstalled by operation of various worm grip mechanisms. A slack line region accommodates changing tides. An upright tube, weighted at a lower end and flanged at an upper end thereof, secures a buoy in place but pulls up through the buoy for easy retrieval by boat crews. Embedding an anchor is by hydraulic water jet drilling. From a thimble in the anchor to a thimble in the upright at the buoy, no intervening metal components are needed in the load path. Markings are durably and protectively embedded in recesses below the buoy's outer surface.

A system and method are for detecting and identifying underground tunnels by using: (i) bentonite-slurry for filling at least one essentially-vertical moat along a desired borderline, (ii) at least one detection device associated with the moat(s); and (iii) at least one control system connected to all detection devices.
