Core SampleDescription
When engineers were designing the cofferdam, they needed to know the consistency and material type of soil under the vessel. We took four core samples of the soil around the vessel down to 100' below the surface of Matagorda Bay. The information obtained from the core samples enabled the engineers to determine how deep the walls of the cofferdam needed to be driven into the floor of the bay around the Belle. This core sample came from the 90' - 100' level of one of the cores.Collection
