The apparatus has a support branch and a plurality of crosspieces connected with the support branch which includes ring chain having a first and a second series of rings linked to one another in an alternate manner, defining a longitudinal axis (X); a plurality of spacer elements coupled to rings of the first series of rings so that they cannot slide. Each of the spacer elements has a seat that houses a ring of the first series of rings by orienting it in a substantially stable manner on a first lying plane, a second seat and a third seat opposite to each other that partially house the rings of the second series of rings linked to the one housed in the first seat by orienting them on a second lying plane transverse to the first lying plane, each of said spacer elements being arranged to prevent the longitudinal sliding between the rings and to allow the rotation of the rings of the second series of rings only on the second lying plane around a rotation axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the chain and to the second lying plane.

A hydromill wheel (5) for excavating a trench in hard rock includes a drum (4) arranged to be rotated about its axis (A, B). The wheel (4) further includes a plurality of single disc cutters (11) mounted on the periphery of the drum (5), the single disc cutter (11) having a rotatable single cutting disc (11) arranged to come in contact with and crush the rock during excavation. The spacing of the projection of at least some of the cutting discs (11) on the drum axis (A, B) is 20% to 70% of the cutting disc diameter.

Described herein are tools, systems and methods for conditioning, strengthening and/or improving in situ soil geotechnical or agricultural properties while at least temporarily reducing soil density, energy requirements and tool wear.

The application relates to an excavation machine including a cutting head with a first drum and a second drum positioned side by side, in proximity to one another, and configured to turn respectively around a first and a second axis of rotation, the first drum and the second drum including, according to their respective axis of rotation, a proximal end connected to the cutting head, and a distal end opposite to the proximal end. The application also relates to a cutting disc for an excavation machine of this type, as well as a corresponding cutting method.

The invention relates to the field of excavation systems, and more particularly to excavation systems including tools for excavation by electric pulses. An excavation system of the invention comprises a support frame (34), a hydraulic circuit with a pump, and first and second excavation tools. One of said first and second excavation tools is a mechanical excavation tool (1) having a hydraulic actuator and a mounting interface with at least one mechanical fastener member and at least one hydraulic coupling in fluid flow communication with said hydraulic actuator, while the other one of said first and second excavation tools is a tool (1) for excavation by electric pulses, comprising an electricity generator (3) with a rotary shaft for generating electricity from rotation of the rotary shaft, a hydraulic motor coupled to said rotary shaft to drive rotation of the rotary shaft, and an electronic power module (4) electrically connected to the electricity generator (3) in order to be powered by the electricity generator (3) so as to generate electric pulses of instantaneous power that is higher than an instantaneous power of the electricity generator (3), a plurality of electrodes (5a, 5p) including at least one electrode (5a) connected to said electronic power module (4), the electrodes being arranged on said front face, and a mounting interface (14) with at least one mechanical fastener member (22), and at least one hydraulic coupling (20) in fluid flow communication with said hydraulic motor (2). Each of the mounting interfaces of the first and second excavation tools is suitable for releasably mounting the corresponding excavation tool in alternation under the support frame (34) of the excavation system, with the corresponding hydraulic coupling in fluid flow communication with said hydraulic circuit of the excavation assembly.
