2013, Xodus Group, Buchan Deep, Landfall Site Walkover - Geotechnical Evaluation series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_a85b017c-8c3b-4728-a3a7-1b6fe4e094dc Statoil are planning to develop an offshore wind farm Pilot Park approximately 25 km to the east of Peterhead on the Aberdeenshire coast covering an area of approximately 60 km2. The Pilot Park will be located either to the north or south of the BP Forties C to Cruden Bay Pipeline, which runs through an Exclusivity Area associated with the development. The Pilot Park will consist of 5 turbines that will be up to 6 MW in size (30 MW maximum). The turbines will have a maximum height of 101 m with a rotor diameter of up to 154 m maximum and a draft of 80 m. The Pilot Park will export energy via a power cable to shore at a proposed landfall location. At present 3 No. landfall options are being considered to the north of Peterhead Harbour, as shown in Figure 1. The proposed offshore export cable route options are presented in Figure 2 with 2 No. possible substation locations marked in red. The scope of this series is to present the findings from a brief engineering geological site walkover of each proposed landfall site to understand the geomorphological and technical constraints each site offers. The walkover was performed on 16th July 2013 between 11:00 – 13:00 during low tide. 20130723
