A system and a method for removing a portion of an electric submersible pump power cable conduit housing are provided. The method may include cutting a conduit housing of the conduit, sliding the cut conduit housing off the conduit, and squaring an end surface of remaining conduit housing. The cutting of the conduit housing is not a through cut and the sliding of the cut conduit housing off of the cut conduit is performed with a conduit housing spreader. The system may include a conduit housing cutter for cutting partially through the conduit housing of the conduit and a conduit housing spreader for pulling the portion of the conduit housing apart from a remaining conduit housing. In addition, the system may include a squaring tool to square an end surface of the remaining conduit housing relative to an axis of the conduit.

An apparatus to be introduced into a conduit includes a cable and a fabric sleeve which extends longitudinally along the cable. The sleeve is secured around the cable by complimentary connectors which extend outwardly from the edges of the sleeve. The connectors can take the form of many configurations including a hook and slot, a ball and socket, a hook and loop, and zipper teeth, among others.

A member for use in undersea applications comprising a plurality of conduits assembled into a bundle; the bundle being wrapped with a pressure-sensitive tape comprising a backing, a layer of corrosion-resistant yarns on one surface of the backing, and pressure-sensitive adhesive layer that coats the corrosion-resistant yarns and binds them to the backing.

A power cable system including a power cable, and an evaporator pipe assembly extending along the power cable, wherein the evaporator pipe assembly having an inner liquid pipe including a pressurised liquid refrigerant, and an outer gas pipe arranged outside of and coaxially with the inner liquid pipe, wherein the inner liquid pipe is provided with a plurality of openings distributed along its length, and wherein the openings provide fluid communication between the inner liquid pipe and the outer gas pipe, allowing part of the pressurised liquid refrigerant to escape from the inner liquid pipe to the outer gas pipe and evaporate in the outer gas pipe, thereby cooling the power cable.

Provided is a microtrench fill comprising cement, a polymer, and a colorant. Also provided is a method of using the microtrench fill to fill a microtrench in a roadway.

A flow restrictor for installation in a connection having a terminus opening into an underground vault. The flow restrictor includes an annular restriction device and a concentration member. The annular restriction device is configured to be installed in the annulus near the terminus opening and to restrict a flow of one or more gases through the annulus of the connection. The concentration member is configured to concentrate the flow and includes a through-channel configured to allow the concentrated flow to flow between the underground vault and the annulus.
