Metadata: 2008, Harrison Geotechnical Engineering, Sheringham Shoal Offshore Wind Farm, Salle Substation Site Investigation
Abstract:
The work covered by this report was undertaken for Scira Offshore Technology Limited working on behalf of StatoilHydro ASA. The purpose of this report was to provide information on the ground conditions beneath the site in order to assess the suitability for development of a proposed substation adjacent to the existing electricity substation. The new substation is at the termination of the new cable route from the proposed offshore windfarm (Sheringham Shoal), approximately 21km of which is onshore and located between Weybourne on the north Norfolk Coast, and Salle. The work covered by this report was undertaken in accordance with instructions received from the client (Scira Ltd.), and included soil sampling from cable percussive and window sampler boreholes to provide information on the underlying ground conditions. The site location is shown on drawing DR/GN12582/030/LEB and an annotated site plan has been included in the appendix (drawing DR/GN12582/029/YN). By examination of the Ordnance Survey map of the area the site could be identified by National Grid Reference 612733, 323998 with an elevation of around 40 metres above Ordnance Datum (maOD).

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The project to which this investigation relates involves the construction of an offshore windfarm, with cables from the facility coming ashore at the site location, just to the west of the village of Weybourne. The town of Sheringham lies around 4km to the east. The cable route proceeds in a generally southerly direction, terminating at the Salle substation to the north-west of Reepham, approximately 21km from the coastline. Information was required on the ground conditions along the route of this cable in addition to data on thermal resistivity of the soils in question. It is intended that the majority of the cable will be laid in a trench at a depth of around 1.5m, the removed material used as backfill if possible. Directional drilling or similar methods will be used for some sections, such as at obstructions (roads, watercourses etc.), and also for the coastline section beneath the gravel/shingle bank. The cables are to be pulled ashore at this location, rising to a manhole from which a trench will extend southwards. |
