RECOMMENDATIONS 



1. Further test the horizontal and vertical stability of 

 these stanchions in different types of sediments. 



2. Correlate results with sediment classification and 

 shear strength. 



3. Experiment with various designs of pipe section in 

 order to optimize mooring capabilities and minimize in- 

 stallation time and expense. 



ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 



The work covered in this report was performed under
