Mainstream Renewable Power has recently started its detailed geotechnical and geophysical survey of the proposed Neart na Gaoithe offshore wind farm site.<\/p>\n
The survey work commenced on August 4th<\/sup>\u00a02014 and will continue until approximately September 30th<\/sup>\u00a02014. The planned wind farm site is located in the outer Forth Estuary approximately 15km to the east of Fife Ness and 30km to the north of Torness.<\/p>\n Up to three different specialist geotechnical vessels will collect soil and rock samples from each of the 75 potential turbine locations. A separate vessel will also undertake geophysical magnetometer and multi-beam surveys.<\/p>\n This represents Mainstream\u2019s continuing commitment to the construction of this large infrastructure project and marks a significant stage in the projects as it enters the final design phase in preparation for a financial investment decision.<\/p>\n If you have any questions regarding these works please contact us directly at the following details:<\/p>\n Mainstream Renewable Power Ltd.,<\/p>\n 3rd<\/sup>\u00a0Floor, 2 West Regent Street,<\/p>\n Glasgow G2 1RW, Scotland.<\/p>\n Tel: +44(0)141 206 3860<\/p>\n
