Abstract

This reports gives insight in the results of the exerpiments done with Ground Condolidators. This report will focus on the tests that evaluate the proposed execution method. In this execution method, the Ground Condolidators will be placed in batches (with help of a clamshell) on the bed to create a mattress. This mattress will slow down the current and protect the pipeline or the seabed. Several results were found, such as the best handling method for the clamshell, the best construction order and some recomendations for further research.
