A mud skirt is often provided. It is designed to penetrate into the soft bottom and provides lateral shear resistance. If the soil shear strength is high enough this may be adequate for supporting the structure. If the soil is very soft, piles may be required. Suction piles may be used in soft clay bottoms. Soft soils with sand and aggregate may require driven piles. Harder bottoms may require drilled and cemented piles.
