Metadata: 2013, Xodus Group, Hywind Offshore Wind Farm, Landfall Site Walkover - Geotechnical Evaluation
Abstract:
Statoil are planning to develop an offshore wind farm Pilot Park approximately 25 km to the east of Peterhead on the Aberdeenshire coast covering an area of approximately 60 km2. The Pilot Park will be located either to the north or south of the BP Forties C to Cruden Bay Pipeline, which runs through an Exclusivity Area associated with the development. The Pilot Park will consist of 5 turbines that will be up to 6 MW in size (30 MW maximum). The turbines will have a maximum height of 101m with a rotor diameter of up to 154 m maximum and a draft of 80 m. The Pilot Park will export energy via a power cable to shore at a proposed landfall location. At present 3 No.landfall options are being considered to the north of Peterhead Harbour, as shown in Figure 1. The proposed offshore export cable route options are presented in Figure 2 with 2 No. possible substation locations marked in red. The scope of this series is to present the findings from a brief engineering geological site walkover of each proposed landfall site to understand the geomorphological and technical constraints each site offers. The walkover was performed on 16th July 2013 between 11:00 – 13:00 during low tide.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 30842 |
| 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, Xodus Group, Hywind Offshore Wind Farm, Landfall Site Walkover - Geotechnical Evaluation |
| 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. | dac869c8-fca9-4684-afd9-208ef933e906 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-80 |
| 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 | 2013-07-15 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2013-07-15 |
| 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 |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | The methodology adopted for the site walkover involved: > evaluating aerial photography images; > annotated sketches of features and hazards in the area; > photographs of the sites from various attitudes; and > notes of features inherent to each site. Technical observations made at each of the proposed landfall sites were evaluated against general site inspection criteria to identify any construction issues that could affect the site selection. |
