Abstract

A subsea grout distributor is disclosed for supplying grout sequentially to a plurality of subsea grout-receiving locations from a primary grout supply conduit. The subsea distributor comprises a frame submergible beneath a water surface. A plurality of secondary grout supply conduits have inlet ends secured to the frame and outlet ends communicable with respective ones of the grout receiving locations. A carriage is movably mounted on the frame. A receiver is movably mounted on the carriage and is connectible with an outlet end of the primary grout supply conduit which extends to the water surface. A displacing mechanism is provided for moving the carriage to sequentially position the receiver adjacent the inlet ends of the secondary grout supply conduits. Mechanism is provided for moving the receiver toward an inlet end of a respective one of the secondary grout supply conduits to enable grout to be transferred to the latter from the primary grout supply conduit, and for moving the receiver away from the last-named inlet end, to enable the carriage to be displaced relative thereto.
