Abstract

Systems and methods for underground water seeping prevention system comprising: a vertical cutting subsystem; a horizontal cutting subsystem; a sheet deployment subsystem; and a control subsystem comprising at least one computing device executing dedicated software.

Claims (13)

1. An underground water seeping prevention system comprising:

a vertical cutting subsystem adapted to cut a vertical or mostly vertical in-ground furrow,

a horizontal cutting subsystem adapted to move in the in-ground furrow, the horizontal cutting subsystem further adapted to groove a horizontal underground slit,

a sheet deployment subsystem adapted to receive anti-seeping sheets having a sheet thickness, the sheets being in a folded position and having two thicker lines running along opposite edges of the sheets, the sheet deployment subsystem further adapted to deploy said sheets in an unfolded position within the horizontal underground slit,

wherein said sheet deployment subsystem has a series of ball bearing couples, each bearing couple having a space between individual bearings of the couple, the space being narrower than said thicker lines and the space being wider than the sheet thickness, and

wherein the at sheet deployment subsystem is further configured to unfold each of the sheets as each sheet is pushed through the space.

2. A method to reduce underground water seeping comprising the steps of:

gathering underground information;

cutting in-ground vertical furrows using at least one vertical cutting subsystem;

lowering a horizontal cutting subsystem inside the vertical furrow;

cutting an underground horizontal slit;

inserting a folded anti-seeping sheet, having two thicker lines running along opposite edges of the sheet, into a sheet deployment subsystem having a series of ball bearing couples, each bearing couple having a space between individual bearings of the couple, the space being narrower than said thicker lines and the space being wider than the sheet thickness; and

pushing the thicker lines through the deployment subsystem to deploy the anti-seeping sheet in said underground horizontal slit.
