Abstract
This paper discusses potential problems in designing highly specialized construction equipment for use on the deep-ocean bottom. Possible solutions and a program to optimize the design, reliability, and capability of a Seafloor Excavator, if and when built, are presented. Major areas of technological concern in developing excavation equipment are discussed.
