2004, BACTEC International, Kentish Flats, Explosive Ordnance Survey And Target Investigation series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_59f5c418-e020-44d8-862c-fe36da11d326 A 30 turbine windfarm is to be constructed on a marine site on the Kentish Flats near Whitstable. The construction will involve piling monopiles for the pylon bases and the laying of interconnecting cables between the pylon bases using a plough. Additionally the export cables will be emplaced from the windfarm to the foreshore using a plough for a distance of some 7 km. The site of the windfarm has a history of unexploded ordnance finds resulting from wartime activity in the area. The last significant incident, the discovery of a WWII German “G” mine occurred earlier this year. A threat assessment was carried out as a result of which risk mitigation measures were identified as being necessary to reduce the risk posed by unexploded ordnance. Initial magnetometry and side scan sonar survey was conducted over the area but the quality and detail was not adequate to plan for and execute a risk mitigation operation to provide the required clearance certification. 20220803T09:42:30
