Tech/Engineering - Petroleum Eng/Sci / pipelines
German term or phrase: Schienenwagen
Dükereinzug:
"vor dem Einzug liegt der komplette Düker auf kleinen Schienenwagen. Durch die Kraft der Seilwinden rollt dann der „Dükerzug“ auf den Schienen bis zu 2,5 Meter in der Stunde vorwärts. Kurz bevor die Pipeline im Wasser versinkt, werden die Wagen entfernt"
Kennt jemand hier den Fachbegriff? Vielen dank im Voraus
