In a piling construction management method a support strength of a hole bottom is measured with a penetration testing device before erecting a piling in a piling hole. The piling is erected in the piling hole when the measurement is at least a prescribed value. The penetration testing device has a knocking block with an integrated penetration shaft and the block is struck by a drive hammer in free-fall. The penetration testing device determines the support strength from the number of impacts required for the penetration shaft to penetrate to a prescribed depth from the hole bottom.

A seabed trenching plow has a chassis, a sled and a towing assembly. The towing assembly has a pair of wings extending laterally from each side of the chassis. The wings are aligned on an axis transverse to the chassis and adapted for connection to a towing line. The transverse axis is forward of the center of gravity of the plow and rearward of the sled, affording an over the stern releasable and retrievable trenching plow of sufficient weight and strength to excavate a three meter trench in a single pass. To assess the protective capabilities of the trench, a threshold signal indicative of a desired composition of seabed-trench soil is compared with a real-time data signal indicative of the actual to produce an alarm signal when the real-time data signal is not protective-capability compliant with the threshold signal.
