The survey presents the results of the Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) carried out at 32 locations in the site and 40 locations in the cable corridor. Further laboratory testing were done on the data gathered from 9 Boreholes and 40 Vibrocore locations in the site and cable corridor respectively. The geotechnical logs created provides soil information to assist in the development of the proposed main turbine (array) area and the subsea transmission cable route. completed Fugro GeoConsulting Limited Project Manager Wallingford Oxfordshire OX10 9RB United Kingdom geoconsulting@fugro.com originator Crown Estate Scotland 0131 260 6070 Quartermile Two, 2nd Floor, 2 Lister Square Edinburgh EH3 9GL United Kingdom enquiries@crownestatescotland.com custodian asNeeded Geotechnics SeaDataNet Parameter Discovery Vocabulary 2013-08-02 revision 76 Agreement for Lease Area The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Areas 2012-05-15 revision 1 Consenting The Crown Estate Renewable Energy Development Phases 2012-05-15 revision 1 Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Marine Environmental Data and Information Network Restricted restricted restricted 007 Restricted eng geoscientificInformation -2.412 -2.122 55.960 56.347 2012-07-31 2012-10-04 Data restricted Documents Asc inapplicable https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/CES-255/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site. series Mainstream Renewable Power Limited is currently developing the Neart Na Gaoithe offshore wind farm site, located 15.5 km off Fife Ness on the east coast of Scotland. Fugro GeoConsulting Limited has carried out a geotechnical site investigation at the offshore wind farm site and export cable corridor. The work was performed from the MV Fugro Commander from 31 July 2012 to 2 October 2012.The water depth is approximately 44.7 m to 53.7m at the main array locations as measured by echo sounder and corrected to Lowest Astronomical Tide . The geotechnical investigation were carried out in three phases. Phase 1 comprised of 32 Cone Penetration Tests (CPTs) carried out using Fugro’s block-drive SEACALF® CPT system. Phase 2 was the boring campaign which consisted of 9 Boreholes done using Fugro’s push sampling and Geobor-S systems. Phase 3 comprised of 40 Seabed CPTs and 40 Vibrocores along export cable route. The laboratory tests were performed according to the procedures presented in BS 1377 (1990). The geotechnical logs were compiled based upon laboratory test results and in situ test data. The logs provided the following information: i. Soil layering, including classifications of undrained shear strength in fine-grained cohesive soils and particle size distribution in coarse soils; ii. Measured undrained shear strength values; iii. Measured moisture content and soil density data; iv. Sample depths.
