Abstract
For structures in the deep ocean, a new set of criteria are required for design and construction. Planning for such deep ocean structures is now necessary, particularly for prospective utilization as anchor blocks for the mooring of ocean thermal energy plants. The technology is also applicable to seafloor production and storage of oil and to certain proposed deep sea mining facilities. This paper presents an evaluation of design criteria, along with a proposed system for design, construction, and installation of a deep sea anchor block.
