2006, RPS, Lincs Offshore Wind Farm, Transformer Access Route Assessment

Description

Centrica are proposing to construct an offshore wind farm off the coast of Norfolk
and Lincolnshire. RPS Transport has been commissioned to undertake a route
assessment study to establish suitable routes for construction vehicles associated
with the onshore cable route required to connect the wind farm to a substation. The
proposed cable route will join land to the north of Sutton Bridge and connect with
Walpole substation.
This assessment details potential access routes to and from the construction
easement strip and sub station from strategic roads and considers possible
highway improvement measures that would be necessary to ensure safety and
minimal disruption to other road users.  Several versions of the access assessment report are provided within this series.
