EQUIPMENT FOR THE CONTRUCTION OF REINFORCED ICE CROSSINGS
Most of the northern regions of Russia lacks the capital roads and bridges. The rapid development of the oil and gas industry requires constant development of roads, which in turn is connected with enormous cost. One way out of this difficult situation, the creation of temporary roads and ice crossings, operating in winter. In this paper, we propose to change the design of the thermosyphon, namely to use the thermosyphon with a constant radius of curvature. This form allows you to extract thermosyphon with lower labor costs without compromising the integrity of the ice and accrued thermosyphon, it can be used repeatedly throughout the winter period. The paper proposes a new system for extracting, representing a leading two and one holding a roller located on different sides of the thermosyphon, for the best retention and downforce. The rolls will be driven by technological machine with a mechanical or hydraulic transmission. Application of the proposed measures allows to reduce the time to strengthen the ice crossing and reduce the complexity of service ice roads.
