The West of Duddon Sands Offshore Wind Farm comprises one hundred and thirty-nine wind turbines and two substations. The foundations may be Mono piles or Suction Bucket Foundations (SBF) for the wind turbines, whereas the use of jacket pile structures is anticipated for the sub-stations The purpose of this investigation was to provide sufficient data on the ground conditions to enable the detailed design of wind turbine and substation foundations. The scope of the ground investigation comprised: · thirty cable percussion boreholes extended by rotary open hole and rotary cored boreholes, to a maximum depth of 68.40m bsb. · Downhole seismic logging and high pressure dilatometer testing · Nine boreholes advanced using rotary open hole techniques with continuous downhole Cone Penetration Tests. · Offshore Geotechnical laboratory testing · Onshore Geotechnical laboratory testing The site work was undertaken between 4th June 2010 and 11th August 2010.

In general, geotechnical objectives for the investigation can be summarised as follows: The purpose of this investigation was to provide sufficient and adequate information about ground conditions for the detailed design and construction of wind turbine and substation foundations. In general, geotechnical objectives for the investigation can be summarised as follows: · To obtain accurate geotechnical data to a depth below which the underlying conditions will not influence the safety and serviceability performance of the planned structures for the planned design lifetime. Minimum depth of investigation anticipated to be in order of 40m - 50m below the sea bed; · Obtain accurate geotechnical correlation (stratigraphy, strength and stiffness) between in situ test results, borehole drilling results, and laboratory test results on obtained soil samples; · Integrate engineering geophysical and geotechnical data sets and obtain accurate correlation between these data sets. · To obtain turbine-location-specific geotechnical design parameters for detailed foundation design.
