  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Whiteford Geoservices Ltd were commissioned by Mainstream Renewable Power Limited, on behalf of Neart na Gaoithe Offshore Wind Limited, to undertake a geotechnical, geophysical and topographic investigations at Thortonloch, East Lothian. Two (2) no. subsea transmission cables carrying electricity from the NNG offshore site will reach landfall at Thortonloch beach, approximately 10km southeast of Dunbar, Scotland. From this point to the proposed grid connection point at Crystal Rig wind farm, 2 no. onshore underground transmission cables (installed in the same trench) will be constructed of approximately 12.3km in length.
The majority of the required investigation took place in a zone affected by tidal variation in level and waterline extents. These survey works were carried out in intermittently submerged areas subject to tidal variation, generally landward of the line of Lowest Astronomical Tide (LAT). Additional geophysical survey works were also conducted within fields south of the A1, where the proposed transmission cables cross HV cables exiting Torness Power Station and the east coast mainline railway.</dc:description>
