Abstract
The objective of route engineering in submarine cable work is to select a path for the proposed cable which is both economical and highly reliable from the standpoint of system integrity. The engineering effort begins with selection of the terminal sites and is carried through to a complete route layout. Echo sounding is the principal technique used for deep water route investigations. In shallow water where extraordinary protection measures such as plowing-in of cable may be required, special survey techniques are used to evaluate a route. These latter techniques include side-scan sonar, subbottom profiling, and the application of a Bell Telephone Laboratories developed survey sled.
