Mobile continuous tubular structure forming and placing apparatus includes a support portion, a row material supplying portion, a matrix forming portion, a tubular structure forming portion and a control portion. The raw material supplying portion includes a plurality of reservoirs connected independently with the matrix forming portion through conduits. The tubular structure forming portion includes a frame section and an arcuate blanket support associated with the frame section. A blanket transport is disposed adjacent the arcuate blanket support and aligned therewith, the blanket transport being movable from one end of the arcuate blanket support to an opposite end thereof. A plurality of spaced movable finger members are disposed along each longitudinal edge of the arcuate blanket support with interconnectors joining adjacent finger members. The control portion includes blanket advancing mechanism, finger moving mechanism and a coordinator for the blanket advance, mixture delivery and finger movement in a preselected sequence to form a continuous tubular structure. Also, a method of forming and placing a continuous tubular structure and the resulting tubular structure.
