Giovanni de Alteriis, Lucio Amato, Giuseppe Guadagno

Abstract

The industry of submarine cables, both for power connection and for telecommunication (TLC) has experienced growing development in recent years and these assets have become strategic. We describe here the main methods and procedures that are followed during geophysical and geological investigations (site surveys) preparatory to the installation of submarine cables.
