Metadata: 2014, Westermost Rough, Subsea Noise Monitoring During Foundation Installation
Abstract:
The report in this series presents a summary of the results obtained during underwater noise monitoring of piling activities at the Westermost Rough Offshore Wind Farm. The aim of the surveys was to monitor the underwater noise radiated from marine pile-driving during the installation of the monopile foundations during the construction phase of the WMR. The measurements were conducted during February and March 2014 and the data analysis during March 2014.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The aim of the surveys was to monitor the underwater noise radiated from marine pile-driving during the installation of the monopile foundations during the construction phase of the WMR. The measurements were conducted during February and March 2014 and the data analysis during March 2014. In order to accomplish the requirements of the Marine License outlined in the previous section the monitoring specification was developed by GEL and DONG Energy Ltd, and approved by the Marine Management Organisation (MMO), therefore the following methodology was applied. The methodology described for underwater noise monitoring was designed to capture comprehensive data on four piling operations for the WMR monopile foundation installations. The data were collected in order to provide a characterisation of the sound source level (SL) (piling) and an assessment of the variation in noise level with distance from the piling operation and to predict impact zones around the piling activity (Section 3). As mentioned in the scope of work approved by the MMO; as the first piling event exhibited non indicative characteristics, the fifth pile was monitored and this data was used in the analysis instead. |
