A platform for research: civil engineering, architecture and urbanism
An oceanographic research tower was installed on 11 June 1959 off Mission Beach, California, by the Navy Electronics Laboratory. This tower consists of a platform containing an instrument house, supported by a steel pipe structure, similar to that of an oil well derrick. The pipe structure is fastened to the sea floor by pins driven 63-feet into the bottom through each of its four hollow legs. The tower is situated in 56 feet of water (MLLW). The Mission Beach site was chosen because it provided the best combination of desirable oceanographic features and practical operating convenience.
