Metadata: 2011, GEO, Zone 8 - Bristol Channel Atlantic Array, Geotechnical Investigations and Laboratory Tests
Abstract:
On behalf of Channel Energy Limited, GEO has performed a geotechnical site investigation for the planned Atlantic Array Offshore Wind Farm in the Outer Bristol Channel. For the wind farm area a total of 4 out of 15 planned boreholes were executed. The boreholes were planned to penetrate to approximately 40m below seabed, however only one borehole was carried out to the planned depth. At each borehole soil samples were taken using a down-hole push/piston sampler, along with penetration tests using a piezo-cone penetrometer tool. Detailed soil/rock descriptions of all samples from the boreholes were made offshore and classification and strength tests were executed on selected samples. This series contains numerous reports, including the Field Report, which summarizes the field and offshore laboratory work for the borehole campaign, and contains detailed soil/rock descriptions and logs.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5144 |
| Title | The title is used to provide a brief and precise description of the dataset such as 'Date', 'Originating organisation/programme', 'Location' and 'Type of survey'. All acronyms and abbreviations should be reproduced in full. | 2011, GEO, Zone 8 - Bristol Channel Atlantic Array, Geotechnical Investigations and Laboratory Tests |
| File Identifier | The File Identifier is a code, preferably a GUID, that is globally unique and remains with the same metadata record even if the record is edited or transferred between portals or tools. | 9fd298883ecc8ef2db08659f5b719f20 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | geo001 |
| Resource type | The resource type will likely be a dataset but could also be a series (collection of datasets with a common specification) or a service. | series |
| Start date | This describes the date the resource starts. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-11-05 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-12-10 |
| Spatial resolution | This describes the spatial resolution of the dataset or the spatial limitations of the service. | inapplicable |
| Frequency of updates | This describes the frequency with which the resource is modified or updated i.e. a monitoring programme that samples once per year has a frequency that is described as 'annually'. | continual |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | Laboratory tests have generally been performed as planned/ordered. The following shall be noted in relation to the performed tests: ? From BH-12 tests on specimen No.15.1D (14.5 meters below seabed (m.b.s.)) were cancelled due to insufficient material. The tests were carried out on a sample from 12.3 m.b.s. This sample has no specimen number. ? From BH-15A specimen No. 4.1D was unsuitable for testing. ? From BH-15A the CIU test on specimen No.13.2U was cancelled and replaced by No. 20.1U. ? Sample 9.1U and 14.1U from BH-15A are described as SAND on both Particle Size Distribution sheets, Appendix 2.VI, and UU-test sheets, Appendix 2.II, but as CLAY in the borehole log, Enclosure 2D.04.According to the results of the Particle Size Distribution the content of particles smaller than 63 µm is above 35 % and both samples may be described as low plastic CLAY. ? Sample 12.1U from BH-15A is described as SAND on both the Particle Size Distribution sheet, Appendix 2.VI, and on the UU-test sheet, Appendix 2.II, but as SILT in the borehole log, Enclosure 2D.04. According to the result of the Particle Size Distribution the content of particles smaller than 63 µm is above 35 % and the sample may be described as low plastic CLAY. |
