Abstract: A pipe mounting system comprising support cables is provided for use in mounting an above-ground elevated pipe or an underwater pipe. The pipe mounting system includes a suspended composite pipeline and a support cable. Multiple cable carriers are provided to carry the support cable along the length of the pipeline, and cradles or rings are provided that extend from the cable carriers and receive and support the pipeline.

Abstract: Thermally insulating pipes are provided for use in the transportation of a heated substance, such as steam or a fluid. The thermally insulating pipes allow the substance traveling through the pipes to retain their heat during transport. The thermally insulating pipes may include one or more layers each of pipe and insulating material, which are overlapping and alternating in the thermally insulating pipe. An outer pipe layer is also provided on the thermally insulating pipe, which may have an increased thickness for threading, splicing or swedging the thermally insulating pipe.

Abstract: Materials and pipes made from woven, knit, spun or braided fiber threads that provide high tensile strength and caustic resistance. A fibrous material, made from a substance such as fiberglass or basalt, is bound to an epoxy resin, which is cured to create a durable material that can be used in several applications, including applications involving high heat and caustic materials.

Abstract: A geothermal heat delivery system supplies geothermal heat for various residential, surface heating applications, including heating driveways, paths, sidewalks, homes, roofs, swimming pools, and commercial applications, including heating roadways, parkways, highways, airport runways, parking lots and sidewalks. The geothermal heat delivery system includes a series of heat pipes that are used to provide geothermal heat from a borehole to a structure or a surface, which can for example, melt precipitation on a road, driveway or roof, without the use of a ground source heat pump.
