  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Greater Gabbard Offshore Winds Ltd have recently completed the construction of a wind farm approximately 14mi east of Suffolk coast. The offshore wind farm consists of 152 Wind Turbine Generators (WTGs) with a gross nameplate capacity of approximately 504MW. The project is now fully operational and the construction was completed in September 2012. GGOWL signed up CT Offshore to conduct survey of the inter array cables.
Water depths along the CTO scope of work vary between approx. 22 (LAT) at the point closest to the shore and 32m (LAT) furthest south west.
Inspection of seabed bathymetry along the route of all 152 IA cable routes extending to 50m either side of each cable (i.e. 100m wide survey centred on cable). 

The cable route surveys should identify any exposed or free spanning sections of cable, any cable loops emergent from the seabed and the presence and location of any installed cable protection systems. Where possible, the IA cable surveys should cover the full span of the cable up to and including the cable monopile entry point and should illustrate exposed and free spanning cable in the vicinity of the monopiles. Where it is not
possible to survey up to the monopole, the cable survey should extend as close to the structure as is deemed safe to do so. The survey must quantify the seabed position relative to lowest astronomical tide (LAT) thereby enabling any seabed movements relative to seabed position in 2009 to be quantified. The survey of the inter array cables shall include survey of the OSP&#x2019;s (IGSUB and GASUB).

Multibeam Survey is conducted to achieve the above results.</dc:description>
