Abstract
A method for adhering a tubular body to a surface. The tubular body may be, for example, a communication line and the surface may be a road. The method includes deploying a tubular body directly onto a natural surface, applying an uncured protectant onto the tubular body while the tubular body is on the natural surface, and shaping the uncured protectant to possess a constant cross-sectional shape around the tubular body on the natural surface. The method includes curing the uncured protectant into a cured protectant to adhere the tubular body and the cured protectant to the natural surface, whereby the tubular body is protectively encased and adhered to the natural surface.
Claims18
A method comprising:
- deploying a tubular body directly onto a natural surface;
- applying an uncured protectant onto the tubular body while the tubular body is on said natural surface, the uncured protectant being applied to enclose the tubular body on the natural surface within the uncured protectant;
- shaping the uncured protectant to possess a constant cross-sectional shape around the tubular body on the natural surface;
- and
- curing the uncured protectant into a cured protectant to adhere the tubular body and the cured protectant to the natural surface, the cured protectant possessing the constant cross-sectional shape, whereby the tubular body is protectively encased and adhered to the natural surface.
A method comprising:
- applying a tubular body onto a natural surface using an apparatus that moves along ground level while the tubular body is being applied along the surface at the ground level;
- applying a protectant directly onto the tubular body on the natural surface, the uncured protectant contacting the tubular body to completely cover said tubular body;
- and
- curing the uncured protectant into a cured protectant to adhere the tubular body to the surface, whereby the tubular body is protectively encased and adhered to said surface.
