Interim Field Guide to Nearshore Underwater Explosive Excavation.

Abstract

This field guide is designed to provide Ocean Facilities Engineering personnel of the Naval Construction Forces with the information necessary to successfully conduct underwater explosive excavation projects in rock and coral with primary emphasis placed on techniques suitable for cable and pipeline route preparation. It is not intended to replace the training provided by competent instructors, but rather to provide guidance and information for trained personnel and assistance to instructors. Information has been compiled from a wide range of sources covering explosives, equipment, and techniques suitable for use in underwater explosive excavation projects. (Author)
