  <dc:description xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">In June 2015 E.ON contracted EGS International Ltd (EGSi) to undertake a preconstruction geophysical and UXO survey of the wind turbine generator (WTG) locations, interarray cables (IAC) and the potential export cable (EC) routes for the Rampion offshore wind farm site. The objective of the Geophysical investigation is to provide detailed information and additional geophysical data for UXO mitigation in relation to the future installation of the Rampion Offshore Wind Farm.

To achieve these aims, data were acquired using; a high frequency multibeam system, a sidescan sonar (SSS) positioned via a USBL system, a pinger (SBP) and a magnetometer array (5 on EGS Pioneer and 3 on Wessex Explorer). The survey was conducted on board the EGS Pioneer and Wessex Explorer operating on a 24 hour and 12hour operational basis with Shoreham and Brighton as the ports of operation respectively. Mobilisation of the EGS Pioneer took place between the 8th and 23rd June 2015, and 10th and 16th July for the Wessex Explorer. Geophysical survey operations were conducted using the EGS Pioneer and the Wessex Explorer between 16th June 2015 and 26th October 2015; vessel operations on the EGS Pioneer were carried out over the whole survey period; operations on the Wessex Explorer were carried out between 16th July and 8th September 2015 including demobilisation on the final day.</dc:description>
