Blue Gem Wind has begun geotechnical investigations on the Angle Peninsula for the 96MW Erebus floating wind project in the Celtic Sea.
The work, which began in late May, is being led by Tetra Tech and is scheduled to last for up to six weeks.
Ben Huskinson, consenting manager at Blue Gem Wind said, “These works involve examining soils and collecting samples of rock along the proposed onshore cable route for the Erebus floating wind farm.
“We will be carrying out the investigations from Pembroke Power Station across to West Angle Bay.
“Each location has been carefully selected to provide good representative samples, and avoid sensitive ecological and archaeological features.”
The work involves excavating trail pits and borehole drilling to create small diameter holes to obtain samples of soil and rock.
