SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR SECURING COVER OVER RETENTION POND USING NEGATIVE PRESSURE

摘要

A system comprises a negative-pressure apparatus comprising one or more fans, at least one manifold pipe coupled to the fan, and one or more a suction pipes coupled to and extending from the manifold pipe down a wall of the retention pond, each suction pipes including one or more structures for drawing air into an interior of the suction pipe. A flexible cover is positionable over at least a portion of the suction pipes and over at least a portion of a material in the retention pond. The fans draw air from the suction pipe interiors through the manifold pipe to create a negative pressure at the wall proximate to each suction pipe to hold the flexible cover to the wall when the one or more fans are activated.

1. A system to cover a retention pond, the system comprising:
a negative-pressure apparatus comprising one or more fans, at least one manifold pipe coupled to the one or more fans, and one or more a suction pipes coupled to and extending from the at least one manifold pipe down a wall of the retention pond, each of the one or more suction pipes including one or more structures for drawing air into an interior of the suction pipe; and a flexible cover positionable over the one or more suction pipes and over a material in the retention pond, wherein the one or more fans draw air from the interiors of the one or more suction pipes through the at least one manifold pipe to create a negative pressure at the wall proximate to each of the one or more suction pipes to hold the flexible cover to the wall proximate to each of the one or more suction pipes when the one or more fans are activated.
