Metadata: 2006, Marine Geosystem, Greater Gabbard, Geotechnical Survey
Abstract:
Marine Geosystem (MGS) has carried out a geotechnical survey to assist GGOWL in their design of suitable foundations for the proposed structures. A total of 17 locations were investigated, 11 boreholes were located within the vicinity of the Inner Gabbard sandbank, 5 boreholes were located within the vicinity of the Galloper sandbank, and 1 borehole at the proposed Meteorological Mast location. Boreholes were advanced using rotary drilling, the sampling/testing regime featured alternate 1m push samples and 3m CPT tests. Geotechnical testing was performed offshore, with further onshore testing performed by Soil Mechanics. This report presents the finds of the survey, and details geotechnical design considerations and engineering parameters to aid subsequent emplacement of the wind turbine foundations.

| Other details | ||
| Internal code | Internally assigned metadata identifier | 19595 |
| 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. | 2006, Marine Geosystem, Greater Gabbard, Geotechnical Survey |
| Alternative title | The purpose of alternative title is to record any additional names by which the dataset may be known. | Geotechnical Survey |
| 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. | dfae7948-e4af-4040-a1c5-f2cfe8ea291d |
| Resource Identifier | This is the code assigned by the data owner. | TCE-422 |
| 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 | 2006-08-02 |
| End date | This describes the date the resource ends. This may only be the year if month and day are not known | 2006-09-05 |
| 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. | Positioning was provided by Gardline Environmental. Gardline Environmental’s dedicated survey positioning package was mobilised onto the geotechnical vessel, with the requirement to position the geotechnical vessel to a repeatable accuracy of ±5m and to ascertain water depths relative to Chart Datum to an accuracy of 0.2m. |
| Additional information | This describes relevant references to the data e.g. reports, articles, websites plus other useful information not captured elsewhere. | Origin: Marine GeoSystem |
