A method of and apparatus for the rapid deployment of a fracturing water transferring system, along with the rapid picking up and storage of such system after use. In different embodiments the method in includes the use of a tensioning system to retrieve one or more segments of lay flat hose.

Methods and apparatus for extending lines for carrying fluids or signals are provided. The lines may be used to deliver fluids, signals and/or power. A wide range of applications include fighting wildfires, fire prevention, providing telecommunications and providing power. The apparatus for deploying a line can include an elongated carried part and a plurality of ground contacting parts that are coupled to and movable relative to the carried part. A plurality of actuators distributed along a length of the carried part are operable to move the ground contacting parts relative to one another and/or move the carried part relative to the ground contacting parts. The actuators are distributed over a length of the carried part. The ground contacting parts may, for example be arranged end to end or arranged in a parallel side-by side relationship.

A pipe support has an outer tubular support wall, an inner tubular support wall, spaced inwardly from the outer tubular support wall, and a connecting portion for maintaining the outer tubular support wall and the inner tubular support wall in a fixed, spaced apart relationship. The pipe support is intended for use in-trench and out-of-trench for supporting a pipeline during assembly, installation, testing and operation.

The present invention discloses a water intake pipeline structure passing through a soft foundation embankment below a flood level and a construction method. The water intake pipeline structure comprises: pipelines, a gate valve well, a concrete pipe bed, a high-pressure jet grouting pile continuous wall, cement deep mixing piles, geogrids, backfilling clay, a clay bound macadam and concrete key walls. After the embankment is broken and excavated to reach a pipeline embankment-passing design elevation, the cement deep mixing piles are fully disposed in a plum blossom type, and the high-pressure jet grouting pile continuous wall is disposed under the gate valve well. A plain concrete cushion layer, the gate valve well, the concrete key walls and the concrete pipe bed are poured, the water intake pipelines are installed, and the pipelines behind the gate valve well are wrapped with concrete. The geogrids are placed during clay backfilling, and layered soil filling is performed. An embankment top is restored by using the clay bound macadam. The gate valve well is provided with a gate valve, and an operating lever is connected onto the gate valve. The present invention further discloses the construction method of the water intake pipeline structure designed to pass through the soft foundation embankment below the flood level. The present invention can eliminate differential settlement of an embankment-passing section, cut off seepage channels in contact positions of the pipelines and the embankment body, and improve the anti-skid stability of an embankment slope, and meanwhile it is novel in structure and convenient to implement.

A rooftop support system including at least one support block. The support block includes a base configured to rest on the rooftop, and the base has a first base section and a second base section separated by a U-shaped recess that defines a first gripping feature. The support block includes first and second sidewalls unitary with the base and extending along a length of the support block, and the first and second sidewalls each define a second gripping feature. The support block also includes third and fourth sidewalls unitary with the base and extending along a width of the support block, and the third and fourth sidewalls each define a third gripping feature. An upper surface of the support block defines an elongate channel, and a pair of apertures are formed in the elongate channel with a coupling feature embedded therein.

Aspects of the present disclosure relate to connection blocks and pump manifold systems, and related methods, for pumping operations (such as frac operations). In one implementation, a connection block for disposition along a pump manifold of a pump system includes a first end hub having a first tube and a first outer shoulder extending outwardly relative to the first tube. The connection block includes a second end hub opposing the first end hub. The second end hub has a second tube and a second outer shoulder extending outwardly relative to the second tube. The connection block includes one or more faces between the first end hub and the second end hub.

The present disclosure provides a system for vertical deployment of leaching lines onto a slope of a mine leach pad. The system includes an elevated guidewire having a first end disposed at a top of the slope and a second end disposed at a bottom of the slope; the elevated guidewire being elevated above a surface of the slope; a deployment apparatus moveably coupled to the elevated guidewire and having one or more attachment mechanisms disposed thereon; and one or more leaching lines coupled to the attachment mechanisms; wherein movement of the deployment mechanism from the top of the slope to the bottom of the slope pulls the one or more leaching lines down the slope and deploys the one or more leaching lines vertically onto the surface of the slope.
