As part of this consenting process the environmental impacts of the potential foundation options at Narec require consideration as part of Rochdale Envelope within the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA). Narec have commissioned Cathie Associates (CA) to undertaken the “Concept Engineering” section of the Rochdale Envelope. Cathie Associates have completed a high level assessment of the potentially suitable foundation types. Data Controller National Renewable Energy Centre Ltd.

Therefore, CA were required to make a number of assumptions in order to progress the preliminary foundation design options required to support the Rochdale Envelope. The assumptions made, and the design parameters utilised within the preliminary design of the foundation (as detailed in Table 1), are discussed as follows:-
