2013, ORDTEK, Buchan Deep, UXO Risk Assessment and Mitigation series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_3295652d-9b85-4678-8f10-fd3dc5f6e814 Hywind Scotland (HWS) will be a pilot floating offshore wind project deploying up to 5 turbines that will be on a floating foundation anchored to the seabed. There may also be a requirement for a small amount of seabed infrastructure additional to the anchors. A single export cable from the project which will come ashore in Peterhead, Aberdeenshire. Statoil is the developer. The site is located in the area known as “Buchan Deep”, with a depth of water between approximately 93m – 120m. The HWS main site AOI is split by the Forties to Cruden Bay oil pipeline. Unexploded ordnance (UXO) residue from World War One (WWI), World War Two (WWII) and post-war dumping of explosive ordnance (EO) presents a potential risk to the development. Nevertheless, the UXO hazard can be managed safely and at best value to the project through a comprehensive understanding of the risks involved, the natural environment and the project development phases. 20140225
