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.
