METHOD OF EXPLOITATION FOREST AREAS OF OIL-AND-GAS PIPELINE ROUTES AND POWER TRANSMISSION LINES Russian patent published in 2013 - IPC A01G23/00 

FIELD: agriculture.

SUBSTANCE: method comprises the operations: felling and bunching of trees using felling-and-bunching machine, limbing and cross-cutting using delimber-crosscutter, loading and transportation of assortments by lumber truck with a manipulator. The lumber truck enters, for example, reversing on the strip of packed branches at a distance equal to the length of the pack collecting band, and on the way back, stopping at the working positions it loads the assortment located on the left and right to the strip to collect the full-car-load pack, followed by removal of the loaded assortments. Felling and processing of felled trees depend on the location of the tree on the width of the cut strip. The felling-and-bunching machine processes the route with two strips. In processing the first band the trees are stacked in bundles on the right at an angle α to the axis of the band providing the location of the pack between the track of the felling-and-bunching machine and the forest edge. The delimber-crosscutter moves following the felling-and-bunching machine at a safe distance. The delimber-crosscutter processes the trees so that the branches are placed on the traffic lane of felling-and-bunching machine and the delimber-crosscutter, and the assortments to the left of the strip in the direction of travel delimber-crosscutter. In developing the second band the felling-and-bunching machine moving in the opposite direction on it lays the packs of trees at maximum radius of the manipulator towards the first band. The delimber-crosscutter moves in the opposite direction at a safe distance on the strip of stacked branches on the first band, processing the trees so that the branches are stacked on the traffic lane, and the assortments - on the right of the strip in the direction of travel of the delimber-crosscutter.

EFFECT: method provides reduction of energy consumption and environmental impact on the forest environment of logging process in cutting of the route of oil and gas pipelines and power transmission line through exclusion the dragging of it with simultaneous arrangement of logger road on swamp soils, which in the future will be used for construction and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines and power transmission lines.
