OSTI ID:5648727
In 1977, a bathymetry survey conducted to accurately define the ocean bottom topography yielded optimistic data related to the design and construction of a cold-water intake pipeline for the Seacoast Test Facility. As a result, this visual reconnaissance Survey, using a submersibe, was performed in order to assess the micro-structure of the bottom bathymetry and to evaluate the characteristics of the bottom and sub-bottom materials as they would affect the design and construction of the cold-water intake pipeline. The results of this submersible survey indicated that, along the survey route, no severe bottom conditions existed that would preclude the design and ultimate construction of a cold-water intake pipeline.
