  • Patent number: 9290902
    Abstract: A dry setting installation for generating a substantially dry working space for carrying out work on part of a partially submerged structure, the dry setting installation comprising a truncated elongated angular-, oval-shaped or part-angular-part-oval-dry setting element, which with the part of a partially submerged structure is capable of forming a cofferdam round the part of the partially submerged structure; and a process for the treatment of part of a partially submerged structure, the process comprising the steps of: closing the dry setting element with the part of the partially submerged structure, sealing the dry setting element on the part of the partially submerged structure; pumping out the water thereby providing a cofferdam round the part of the partially submerged structure; cleaning the surface of the part of the partially submerged structure; curing the curable adhesive coating, filling the dry setting installation with water, removing the dry setting element.

  • Publication number: 20130294835
    Abstract: A truncated elongated oval-shaped dry setting element having two truncated elongated oval-shaped ends one of which is open and the other submergible end is closed by a floor accommodating a U-shaped receiving collar, the opening between the ends of said truncated elongated oval-shaped dry setting element and the width of the U-shaped receiving collar being sufficient to accommodate a partially submerged isolated structure such that said U-shaped receiving collar is sealable under water against said isolated structure with a collar sealing element closing the U of said collar in the plane of the collar with said isolated structure in place, and the opening between the ends of the first truncated elongated oval-shaped dry setting element being closable with a closure, wherein said dry setting element comprises a U-shaped structure replicating the opening formed by said U-shaped receiving collar at a sufficient distance from said U-shaped receiving collar so as to receive said isolated structure without substant
