Metadata: 2011, Cathie Associates, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Geotechnical Ground Model
Abstract:
Moray Offshore Renewables Ltd (MORL) is developing the UK Round 3 Moray Offshore wind farm located within the Moray Firth off the east coast of Scotland. The wind farm has been divided into two development phases: phase 1 (Eastern development area) and Phase 2 (Western development area). A geophysical survey was carried out by Osiris Projects between May and September 2010 covering both the Phase 1 and Phase 2 development areas. The geophysical survey was utilised in the development of a geotechnical borehole location rational based on the identification of preliminary lithological boundaries, as presented in Senergy’s Preliminary Site Evaluation report. As part of the development process MORL commissioned a reconnaissance geotechnical survey for the Phase 1 area. The geotechnical survey was undertaken between 2nd November and the 14th December 2010 by Fugro GeoConsulting Limited under the supervision of Cathie Associates. The survey comprised the advance of twenty five exploratory geotechnical boreholes across the Phase 1 area including six re-drills. Samples recovered as part of the survey were tested in the Fugro Geotechnical laboratory (Wallingford) in order to undertake a geotechnical appraisal of materials encountered beneath the Phase 1 area of the wind farm development site. A summary of all geotechnical laboratory test results was issued in Fugro‘s Laboratory and In-situ Data report.

| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19584 |
| 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. | 2011, Cathie Associates, Zone 1 - Moray Firth, Geotechnical Ground Model |
| 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. | dddefa2f-595b-4fde-8a79-e4fc6dd11534 |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | CES-375 |
| 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 | 2010-11-02 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2010-12-14 |
| 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 |
