Further offshore design requirements6

1

Each monopile foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not have a diameter greater than 7 metres.

2

Each monopile foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not be constructed in water with a depth greater than 45 metres between LAT and the seabed.

3

Each gravity base foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not have—

a

a diameter at the level of the seabed which is greater than 45 metres;

b

e

a cone diameter at its base which is greater than 35 metres.

4

In the event that any WTG uses a gravity base foundation of more than 35 metres diameter at the level of the seabed, the authorised scheme shall not comprise more than 101 WTG in total.

5

Each space frame foundation forming part of the authorised scheme shall not have—

a

for use with any WTG or meteorological mast, a spacing between each leg at the level of the seabed which is greater than 40 metres and at the level of LAT which is greater than 25 metres;

b

for use with any offshore substation platform, accommodation platform or collection platform, a spacing between each leg at the level of the seabed which is greater than 55 metres in one direction and 40 metres in a perpendicular direction and at the level of LAT which is greater than 40 metres in one direction and 30 metres in a perpendicular direction;

c

more than two piles per leg or more than one suction can per leg;
