Metadata: 2019, RPS, Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4, Review of Cable Installation, Protection, Mitigation and Habitat Recoverability, Report on behalf of The Crown Estate
Abstract:
This project sought to provide a desk-based review of cable installation techniques and protection used for offshore wind and other cables related projects in order to better understand how seabed habitats are affected by such activity. The project collated and assessed information on cable installation techniques used in the UK, and considered the effectiveness of these installation methods and tools in different seabed types. The project also collated and assessed information on the impacts of cabling on seabed habitats and communities, and provided a series of recommendations for future consent applications and proposals for best working practices during and after cable installation.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19432 |
| 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. | 2019, RPS, Offshore Wind Leasing Round 4, Review of Cable Installation, Protection, Mitigation and Habitat Recoverability, Report on behalf of The Crown Estate |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Review of Cable Installation, Protection, Mitigation and Habitat Recoverability |
| 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. | dd303ec1-a4cb-4430-8d4a-b9428287779d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-1714 |
| 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 | 2019-11-12 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2019-11-12 |
| 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'. | asNeeded |

| Lineage | Lineage includes the background information, history of the sources of data, data quality statements and methods. | To determine the effectiveness of cable installation techniques, RPS collated and reviewed information on the techniques used to install cables in subtidal environments, using best practice guidelines and recent experience in the offshore wind and interconnector industries. This information was supplemented by information requested (via a questionnaire) from offshore wind and interconnector developers on installed export cables within a defined study area. The aim of this data collation and review exercise was to assess the relative effectiveness of the cable installation methodologies within the different ground conditions present across the study area, with a view to answering three key questions of the study: • To what degree is success of cable burial driven by ground conditions? • Are cable protection requirements site specific (i.e. dependant on ground conditions), or do other factors influence whether these are required? • Can detailed information on ground conditions be used pre consent to accurately establish cable burial and cable protection assumptions within consent applications? |
