Abstract
An ocean water drawing system includes: a well; a working tunnel disposed underground and having an end segment distal from the well; a pipeline unit including a primary pipeline disposed in the working tunnel, and having one end extending sealingly into the well and the other end extending through the end segment of the working tunnel and into an ocean so as to permit ocean water to flow into the well through the primary pipeline; and an access tunnel isolated from the well and extending downwardly from a ground surface to intersect the working tunnel so as to communicate spatially with the working tunnel and so as to permit access into the end segment of the working tunnel for operation and maintenance of the primary pipeline.
Claims16
An ocean water drawing system comprising:
- a first well adapted to be disposed adjacent to a seashore;
- a first working tunnel disposed underground and extending between said first well and the seashore, said first working tunnel being isolated from said first well and the ocean, and having an end segment distal from said first well and proximate to the seashore;
- a first pipeline unit including a primary pipeline disposed in said first working tunnel, and having one end extending sealingly into said first well and the other end extending through said end segment of said first working tunnel and into the ocean so as to permit ocean water to flow into said first well through said primary pipeline;
- and
- an access tunnel isolated from said first well and extending downwardly from a ground surface to intersect said first working tunnel so as to communicate spatially with said first working tunnel and so as to permit access into said end segment of said first working tunnel for operation and maintenance of said primary pipeline.
