A grouser structure for use on an outer surface of a continuous track belt to provide traction and shock absorption, the grouser structure including a grouser body that defines a grouser chamber and a spline element positioned within the grouser chamber. In one preferred embodiment a shock absorption gap is formed between the inner chamber peripheral surface and the outer spline peripheral surface. In another preferred embodiment the base of the grouser body is solid or contains other structure to prevent the first body side leg and the second body side leg from spreading. In yet another preferred embodiment the spline element is a solid reinforcement spline element. In still another preferred embodiment the spline element is associated with an extension section to which an ice cleat may be functionally attached.

A method for at least one of introduction and removal of a cable (300) in a conduit (500) within which a current of water is conveyed, the cable having an outer diameter and the conduit having an internal diameter, the method comprising: passing the cable (300) through an internal passage in a seal to a water gun area and then into the conduit; subjecting the cable (300) to a thrust force before the cable passes through the internal seal passage to control a speed of the cable through the conduit, subjecting the cable to a pressure of water within the conduit to control the progression of the cable through the conduit; and regulating the thrust force and the pressure of water within the conduit so as to maintain a constant water flow rate within the conduit in order to enable the installation of the cable with a ratio of the cable diameter to the conduit internal diameter that can reach 90 percent and the conduit forming a winding course greater than 2000 m in length. 11. The method according to claim 10, wherein the conduit is occupied by at least one other cable. 12. The method according to claim 10, further comprising the step of modifying the condition of the surface of the cable (300) using a tool including striated wheels prior to the step of passing the cable into the conduit, in order to increase forces of friction of the water on the cable.
