Abstract: A method for making a surface covering is disclosed which includes providing a surface covering having a backing layer, a foamable layer, and a design layer, wherein the design layer includes a portion of a pattern printed with at least one retarder composition. A wear layer is then provided on the design layer and the wear layer is cured. The foamable layer is thereby expanded to form a foam layer, and the pattern printed with at least one retarder composition is chemically embossed. The cured product is subsequently cooled to ambient temperature and then the top surface of the wear layer is subjected to a sufficient temperature to soften the wear layer. After being softened the wear layer is mechanically embossed with a surface texture, the embossed surface texture is set in the wear layer, and a top coat may then be provided on the embossed set wear layer. A surface covering having the various features described above is also disclosed. Preferably, the surface covering and the method for making the surface covering have a natural wood, stone, marble, granite, or brick appearance wherein the design layer includes one or more joint or grout lines created with at least one retarder composition and the wear layer is mechanically embossed with the surface texture of a wood, stone, marble, granite, or brick surface.

Abstract: En certains emplacements éloignés des côtes, par exemple au large de la côte Ouest de l'Afrique, les installations FPSO constituent des installations de déchargement permettant de recevoir et de charger le pétrole brut produit sur des pétroliers-navettes. Dans certaines réalisations, les installations FPSO utilisent des pétroliers sur amarrage funiculaire comportant des goulottes suspendues dans la colonne d'eau jusqu'à une bouée de déchargement ou des bouées qui sont situées à une distance comprise entre 1000 et 1500 mètres de l'installation FPSO. Généralement, des goulottes de type conduites en acier sont utilisées en flottation intermédiaire de manière à assurer une structure appropriée qui permet d'éviter les charges nuisibles imposées en raison de mouvements relatifs de l'installation FPSO et de la bouée de déchargement. Conformément à l'invention, un collecteur d'extrémité de pipeline suspendu (SPLEM) (20) est relié à l'extrémité de l'ensemble goulotte pour assurer un support pendant le remorquage. Le collecteur SPLEM (20) est positionné à proximité de la bouée et est relié à l'extrémité inférieure de la bouée (10), au niveau de la surface de la mer, par des câbles souples (14) tels que des chaînes d'ancre. On fait alors flotter le collecteur SPLEM (20) en immergeant sélectivement des compartiments de façon à le faire couler jusqu'à une position opérationnelle sous la bouée. Puis on relie des tuyaux soupes (22) ou des tubes sous-marins de façon à compléter la goulotte jusqu'à la bouée.
