Metadata: 2013-2014, Fugro GeoConsulting, Zone 6 - Rampion, Geotechnical Site Investigation
Abstract:
Fugro carried out a geotechnical site investigation at 183 locations within the wind farm site area and at 30 locations along the proposed export cable routes. To carry out this work Fugro used a number of vessels over a nine and a half month period. The objectives of this project are to carry out a sufficiently detailed site investigation of the Rampion Offshore Wind Site in order to: 1. Determine the geological and geotechnical characteristics of the Site to allow for planning and implementation of subsequent construction operations, with a good appreciation of geo-hazards including gas blanking; 2. Carry out full detailed design of the foundations across the Site for up to 181 no. wind turbines (previously 182) and 1 no. offshore substation platform; (previously 2) 3. Conduct detailed assessment of jack-up leg penetrations for jack-up vessels which may be used during the construction of the Site; 4. Understand the geological conditions across the export cable route corridor for the export cable route and trenching design. Please refer to the executive summary report (2. J11222-02 EXEC SUMMARY) for information on what is contained in each deliverable level.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19352 |
| 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. | 2013-2014, Fugro GeoConsulting, Zone 6 - Rampion, Geotechnical Site Investigation |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Geotechnical Site Investigation |
| 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. | b032b85a-eac3-4078-8b20-2685e1918d21 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-2597 |
| 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 | 2013-01-01 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2014-02-01 |
| 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 |
