TI - Hywind Scotland Pilot Park Project Plan for Construction Activities 2017
AU - Statoil
AB - Statoil ASA received a Marine Licence on the 30th October 2015 to develop the Hywind ScotlandPilot Park Project (“Hywind Scotland”). Five floating wind turbines (FWTs) will be installed, each witha generating capacity of 6 MW giving a total generating capacity of 30 MW, approximately 25 km offthe coast of Peterhead. Each turbine will be anchored by a three-point mooring spread, and they willbe connected by inter-array cables (figure 1.1). An export cable will transport the generated electricityto the shore. The application, Marine Licence decision documents and other documentation areplaced on Marine Scotland’s web page1.An horizontal directional drilling (HDD) solution was selected for the cable landfall. The HDDactivities, including the installation of a duct in the borehole for later pull in of the export cable, wascompleted in September 2016, whereas the rest of the offshore installation works will be carried outin 2017.A separate HDD plan, covering the marine activities in 2016, was developed by Statoil, and MarineScotland approved this as sufficient for partly discharging the Licence conditions for these activities.For the remaining offshore construction activities to be performed in 2017, Statoil has agreed withMarine Scotland to develop a construction plan, covering the relevant licence conditions in onedocument, rather than preparing separate documents or plans for each condition. The issuescovered are listed below, where appropriate with reference to the relevant conditions to bedischarged: Development Specification and Layout Plan - DSLP (Technical description), ref. condition 3.2.2.6;Lighting and Marking Plan – LMP, ref. condition 3.2.2.11; Construction Method Statement – CMS, ref. condition 3.2.2.5; Cable Plan – CaP, ref. condition 3.2.2.10 a, b, d, e and h; Vessel Management Plan – VMP, ref. condition 3.2.2.7; Construction Programme - CoP (Schedule), ref. condition 3.2.2.4; Baseline description, ref. condition 3.2.2.10 b and c; Environmental Management Plan – EMP, ref. condition 3.2.1.2, including chemical usage (ref. condition 3.1.7) and environmental protection (condition 3.1.8); Fisheries Management and Mitigation Strategy – FMMS, ref. condition 3.2.1.3;Emergency Response Co-operation Plans – ERCoP (including emergency response and HSEincidents reporting (brief description, conditions 3.2.1.7 and 3.2.1.10 to be discharged throughseparate documents);Navigational Safety Plan – NSP, ref. condition 3.2.2.8;Marine Archaeology Reporting Protocol – MARP, ref. condition 3.2.2.19;Five additional plans will be prepared to discharge the remaining license conditions. Statoil hasagreed with the Maritime and Coastguard Agency (MCA to prepare two Emergency Response andCo-operation Plans (ERCoPs) following a standard template; one for the construction phase and onefor the operational phase. Emergency response and reporting of health and safety incidents (refconditions 3.2.1.7 and 3.2.1.10) is therefore only briefly covered in this construction plan.Furthermore, separate plans will be developed for environmental monitoring (ref. condition 3.2.1.1,3.2.1.4, 3.2.1.5 and 3.2.1.6) and for operation and maintenance (ref. condition 3.2.2.9), as thesecovers activities beyond the construction phase. A Decommissioning Programme (ref. condition3.2.2.3) has already been issued for consultation, and will be updated as necessary.
