COMPLEX FOR DEVELOPING UNDERSEA MINERAL DEPOSITS

摘要

The invention relates to designing equipment for developing such undersea natural deposits as oil and gas using boreholes and other minerals from gravel deposits. A complex for developing undersea mineral deposits comprises an assembling shop mounted on a floating platform in high seas, at island or at sea coast, the assembling shop is provided for manufacturing, testing and launching waterproof chambers containing facilities therein and connected to said chambers waterproof enclosures with a transport system pipelines and waterproof enclosures with power control cables, wherein the head part of the complex is moved in the submerged position from the assembling shop location to the predetermined sea bottom coordinates by repeatedly operating pontoon units controls with successive elongation the length of the complex transport system by adding next sections carried out inside the assembling shop. For directing the complex movement at least two submarines are used permanently connected to the complex head part. The reliability of the complex operation is thus increased.
