... Abstract A new heavy-duty post lay burial system has been developed. The system consists of a towed plow capable of burying oil field umbilicals and other heavy undersea flexible products to a depth of 2.0 m in water depths ranging to 1500 m. This heavy-duty plow has been designed to operate...

... Abstract Cable burial by plowing into the ocean bottom has been the most widely used method of protecting undersea telecommunications cables from ocean hazards, including fishing activity and heavy ships' anchors. For the most part, this is accomplished by using heavy sled-type cable plows...
