Metadata: 2004, BACTEC International Ltd., Kentish Flats Offshore Wind Farm, Explosive Ordnance Survey And Target Investigation
Abstract:
A 30 turbine windfarm is to be constructed on a marine site on the Kentish Flats near Whitstable. The construction will involve piling monopiles for the pylon bases and the laying of interconnecting cables between the pylon bases using a plough. Additionally the export cables will be emplaced from the windfarm to the foreshore using a plough for a distance of some 7 km. The site of the windfarm has a history of unexploded ordnance finds resulting from wartime activity in the area. The last significant incident, the discovery of a WWII German “G” mine occurred earlier this year. A threat assessment was carried out as a result of which risk mitigation measures were identified as being necessary to reduce the risk posed by unexploded ordnance. Initial magnetometry and side scan sonar survey was conducted over the area but the quality and detail was not adequate to plan for and execute a risk mitigation operation to provide the required clearance certification.

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Survey. A marine survey was carried out over the specified area, see Annex A, using an 8 sensor caesium magnetometer array linked to a digital compass and DGPS positioning system. The sensors were mounted on a rigid boom attached to the survey vessel. See photographs at Annex B. This arrangement allowed the sensors to be towed at a recordable uniform height above the sea bed. The layback of the sensors was fixed by the boom which enabled the precise position of the sensors, and therefore those of the targets, to be determined as part of the data processing activity. |
