Abstract
The present invention is a concrete piping system comprising a pipeline. The pipeline includes an intake end, an output end, a liner resistant to concrete abrasion and a pressure tube of composite materials placed over the liner. A concrete pump is connected to the intake end of the pipeline.
Claims23
A concrete piping system comprising:
- a pipeline including:
- an intake end;
- an output end;
- an liner resistant to abrasion produced by flow of concrete under pressure;
- and
- a pressure tube of composite materials placed over the liner;
- a plurality of boom sections in supportive engagement with at least a portion of the pipeline, each boom section engaged in an articulated fashion with at least one adjacent boom section;
- and
- a concrete pump connected to an intake end of the pipeline.
A concrete transport system comprising:
- a truck;
- a plurality of boom sections supported by the truck;
- a plurality of actuator assemblies interposed between adjacent boom sections for controlling the angle between adjacent boom sections;
- a pipeline for transporting concrete from a first location to a second location, the pipeline attached to the plurality of boom sections, wherein the pipeline is composed of composite materials;
- and
- a concrete pump connected to the pipeline.
A piping system for transporting flowable material, the piping system comprising:
- a pipeline including:
- an intake end;
- a discharge end;
- a pressure tube, the pressure tube constructed from a fiber reinforced thermoset polymeric composite material;
- and
- a plurality of boom sections in supportive engagement with at least a portion of the pipeline, each boom section engaged in an articulated fashion with at least one adjacent boom section;
- and
- a pump connected to the intake end.
