The plurality of trucks is transported to a construction site. The plurality of base units is unloaded from the plurality of trailers and placed at the construction site to form a wall.

Abstract: A barrel is capable of vacuum loading and unloading, gravity unloading and loading, and pneumatic unloading. A roll-off skid is coupled to the barrel.

Abstract: A tank trailer includes front, rear, and transition sections. The front section has a front frame having a front-frame front end, which is at a front-frame height above a surface upon which the tank trailer rests, and a front-frame rear end. The front section includes a cylindrical front barrel coupled to the front frame and having a front-barrel diameter and a front barrel length. The rear section has a rear frame having a rear-frame front end and a rear-frame rear end, which is at a rear-frame height above the surface, and a cylindrical rear barrel coupled to the rear frame, which has a rear-barrel diameter and a rear barrel length. The transition section includes a cylindrical transition barrel coupled to the front barrel and to the rear barrel and a transition-barrel diameter and a transition-barrel length along a transition-barrel height. The front-barrel diameter is the same as the rear-barrel diameter.

Abstract: An elongated tub includes a first end and a second end opposite the first end. An A-frame structure includes a force transfer vertex positioned adjacent to a top portion of the first end, a first pivot vertex pivotally and releasably coupled to an elongated frame, and a second pivot vertex pivotally and releasably coupled to the elongated frame. The A-frame structure includes a first force transfer beam coupled to the first end and coupled between the force transfer vertex and the first pivot vertex, a second force transfer beam coupled to the first end and coupled between the force transfer vertex and the second pivot vertex, and a separation beam coupled to the first pivot vertex and the second pivot vertex.

Abstract: The disclosed invention relates to storage containers that may be transported by various intermodal means. The disclosed invention may be transported like any intermodal container. Additionally, the disclosed invention is capable of maintaining a vacuum seal when closed while maintaining intermodal functionality.

Abstract: An improved mobile fluid storage tank having a base, substantially vertical front wall, a substantially rear wall, a pair of substantially parallel side walls and a roof structure. The roof structure has a rear roof portion and a front roof portion. The rear roof portion is substantially parallel with the base and extends along the rear portion of the two side walls while the front roof portion is comprised of a single sloping section which extends from the forward end rear roof portion to the vertical front wall. The intersection of the front and rear roof portions being selected to provide the optimum volume of fluid content of the tank.

Abstract: Containers for liquids, commonly dispensed for consumption at a temperature below ambient (such as chilled soft drinks cans) can be maintained for extended periods below ambient, after they have been dispensed from a refrigerated container, by providing a lining member formed from a plastics material having closed cells and providing insulating properties. The lining member may, for instance, have large cells and be dimensioned to fit within the shell of the container, or can be formed as a layer on the internal surface of the shell of the container.
