2009, METOC, Wave Hub, Cable Seabed Sediment Study series https://portal.medin.org.uk/portal/start.php?tpc=015_b0e05944-5519-4fa6-968d-da98958ad55f Metoc prepared this report for JP Kenny who is managing the design and installation of the Wave Hub Export Cable for SWRDA. The present study is carried out under authorisation of Service Order No 6600-e dated 19 February 2009 and the terms of the existing General Agreement for Provision of Consultancy and Technical Services between JP Kenny and Metoc dated 9 August 2004. The report describes the surface geology of the seabed along the cable’s intended route and recommends a safe minimum burial depth to ensure the cable remains buried throughout its working life. Burial is planned from the landfall out to KP 3.3 km, being the limit of significant sediment cover on the seabed. Beyond this, the cable will be fixed in place by rock dumping. The study has taken into consideration the available geophysical data collected by the Project including a route bathymetry survey and beach transects along and closely parallel to the proposed cable route. 20090428
