2006, Marine Geosystem, Sheringham Shoal, Geotechnical Survey

Marine GeoSystem has carried out the geotechnical survey on behalf of Scira. Geotechnical testing was performed offshore by Gardline Geosciences, with further onshore testing performed by Soil Mechanics. Reporting has been carried out by SEtech, part of the Gardline Group. This report presents the findings of the survey. A geotechnical soil survey has been carried out to determine the geotechnical properties of the foundation strata to a depth up to and including but not exceeding 70m below seabed dependant on the borehole geology as encountered and became known during the drilling operations. A nominal borehole depth of 50m below seabed was required. Geotechnical testing generally comprised alternate PCPT testing and push sampling. Overall the water depths in the survey areas range from about 15m to 20m.
