Metadata: 2012, Subacoustech Environmental, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Modelling of Noise during Impact Piling Operations
Abstract:
Subacoustech previously modelled the effects of the propagation of underwater noise during impact piling operations for the Race Bank project using an early version of INSPIRE (Impact Noise Sound Propagation and Impact Range Estimator), a proprietary underwater sound propagation model. Further to Subacoustech’s original assessment and following a revision to the envelope for the monopile foundations, the levels of underwater noise from the installation of monopiles have been re-assessed and estimated using a more sophisticated version of INSPIRE (version 3.3.0). This enables the calculation of noise with range from the piling location based on, and validated against, Subacoustech’s existing database of measurement of piling noise. The INSPIRE model has been used to calculate the expected noise level on 180 transects radiating outwards from the piling location at the Race Bank site and the results interpreted to yield impact range contours.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 5321 |
| 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. | 2012, Subacoustech Environmental, Race Bank Offshore Wind Farm, Modelling of Noise during Impact Piling Operations |
| 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. | bc247094-d284-4312-9e2e-2781b4175432 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | E347R0108 |
| 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 | 2026-04-17 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2026-04-17 |
| 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'. | notPlanned |
| Abstract | The abstract provides a clear and brief statement of the content of the resource. | Subacoustech previously modelled the effects of the propagation of underwater noise during impact piling operations for the Race Bank project using an early version of INSPIRE (Impact Noise Sound Propagation and Impact Range Estimator), a proprietary underwater sound propagation model. Further to Subacoustech’s original assessment and following a revision to the envelope for the monopile foundations, the levels of underwater noise from the installation of monopiles have been re-assessed and estimated using a more sophisticated version of INSPIRE (version 3.3.0). This enables the calculation of noise with range from the piling location based on, and validated against, Subacoustech’s existing database of measurement of piling noise. The INSPIRE model has been used to calculate the expected noise level on 180 transects radiating outwards from the piling location at the Race Bank site and the results interpreted to yield impact range contours. |
| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The INSPIRE model has been developed by Subacoustech specifically for the estimation of marine impact piling operations. It uses a combined geometric and energy flow/hysteresis loss model to model subsea noise propagation. The INSPIRE 3.3.0 model has also been tested “blind” against measured impact piling noise data from several offshore construction operations, as well as a range of shallow water estuarine piling operations and has been found to provide accurate results, based on offshore observations. |
