2011, OpenHydro Technology Ltd, Brims Tidal Array, Bottom-Mounted ADCP Survey

Partrac Ltd was contracted by SSE Renewables to undertake collection of metocean data (tidal currents, waves and turbulence) at Brims Ness, which lies to the west of the proposed Cantick Head tidal sites. Two instrumented, ballasted bed-frames each comprising a 300 kHz T-RDI acoustic Doppler current profile (ADCP) were deployed at two sites (Site 14 and Site 20) onto the seabed over the period 11th June, 2011, to 13th July, 2011. These two locations lie off Brims Ness and are due west of the Cantick Head site boundary and previous ADCP survey locations.
