ENDLESS ONSITE-MANUFACTURED PIPE FOR REMOTE MINING SITES AND IN-SITU LEACHING
Ehsani, M. | Technical Sessions: Smart Mining: Resources for a Connected World, 24-27 Feb 2019, Denver, Colorado. p 11, 2019
A technique has been developed that allows on-site construction of an endless fiberglass reinforced thermosetting plastic pipe, named InfinitPipe®. The project has been supported through funding from the National Science Foundation and the U.S. Department of Agriculture. A compact Mobile Manufacturing Unit (MMU) is shipped to the site. Layers of resin-saturated carbon or glass fabric are wrapped around a heated mandrel, and within a few minutes the pipe is fully cured. As the MMU travels, it leaves a continuous pipe behind. For in situ leaching applications, the MMU is positioned on top of the well and as the pipe is built, it is pushed into the well.
