Abstract: A method is disclosed for installing a pipeline made up of a plurality of pipe lengths or sections to extend along a predetermined underground grade in a trench. Pillow blocks are secured to the underside of the pipe lengths at predetermined intervals and the pipe lengths are respectively lifted with the pillow blocks suspended thereunder and sequentially placed in the trench with the blocks positioned thereunder on the grade surface in the trench. The pipe sections are then secured together to form a pipeline and the trench is backfilled. The pillow blocks may be adhered to the underside of the pipe sections or the pillow blocks may be loosely secured to the underside of the pipe lengths whereby the blocks will maintain a position by force of gravity under the respective pipe sections to which they are attached when the respective pipe sections are suspended in the air above ground.

Abstract: A drive-over berm for use with a protective liner. The berm is constructed of an elongate border sheet strip of a liquid-impermeable material having a berm sleeve along an outside elongate edge and an apron along an elongate inside edge for sealed securement to an underlying liquid-impermeable protective liner. A series of unconnected elongate resilient berm log segments are slidably received in the sleeve and exposed outer surfaces of the sleeve are provided with a high visibility color.

Abstract: A combination anchoring pin and insertion apparatus which includes a vertically disposed elongated barrel having an axial bore and an elongated hammer drive rod slidably received within the bore with the upper end extending above the top opening of the barrel and having a handle secured to the upper end of the rod. A side opening is provided in the barrel for sequentially introducing anchoring pins therethrough into the bore and a pin guide chute is secured to the barrel and aligned with this barrel side opening for sequentially feeding anchor pins through the side opening in guided alignment. An anchoring pin retainer is positioned in the barrel bore below the side opening to receive, retain and position the anchoring pins sequentially under the lower end of the drive rod for sequential downward driving engagement or hammering by the drive rod.

A side opening is provided in the barrel for sequentially introducing anchoring pins therethrough into the bore and a pin guide chute is secured to the barrel and aligned with this barrel side opening for sequentially feeding anchor pins through the side opening in guided alignment. The anchoring pin has one or two pin shafts depending at a right angle downwardly from an enlarged head and an anchoring pin retainer is positioned in the barrel bore below the side opening to receive, retain and position the anchoring pins sequentially under the lower end of the drive rod for sequential downward driving engagement or hammering by the drive rod.
