Hi,
I'm designing a subsea plough and it will stay on seabed and towed using a pipelay vessel during operation.
My problem is to know what is the suction force of the seabed because after the operation we need to lift up the system back to the vessel.
FYI, the system weight is around 20 tonnes.
Anyone have any idea or reference is really appreciated.
