Criterion Quay Flow Development Physical Ground Investigation

2.2

Description of the goods or services required

Our current framework consultant will produce a Ground Investigation scope of work. This will be the basis of the work to be undertaken following a tender process. This will include drilling of boreholes over the existing land area and over the intertidal and subtidal areas to be covered by the marine works (including dredging). This will include drilling for and recovering sediment and rock samples as well as recovering samples for contaminant testing. It is inevitable that a jack up barge will be required for some or all of the marine boreholes.

This will include land based boreholes, trial pits and geophysical surveys. Overwater surveys will include boreholes in a range of water depths up to about 16m below Chart Datum and intertidal zones to about 3 metres above chart datum. This work will also require the recovery of sediment samples for the environmental assessment. The work will need to be prioritised to cover certain areas first. Testing and factual reporting of these early areas is required in advance of the balance of the works.

Additional Information

The Hobbs Point Floating Offshore Wind Development Project is envisioned to support the deployment of floating offshore wind infrastructure in the Celtic Sea. Delivery of this project will fortify the Pembroke Dock Marine project currently in development at Pembroke Dock, which is designed to create a world class centre for green energy development, acting as a catalyst for inward investment and the development of a regional Marine Centre of Excellence for current and future technology. Delivery of Hobbs Point Floating offshore wind will support the diversification of a strategic UK fossil fuel energy hub into a centre for the renewable energy industry. This will protect both the region and UK in terms of energy security, economy and inclusivity while also working towards achieving decarbonisation targets.

Milford Haven Port Authority (PoMH), as part of its ongoing programme of development at Pembroke Port (PP) intends to rebuild and expand a facility at Criterion Way/Criterion Quay, initially to support Floating Offshore Wind (FLOW) Test and Demonstration stage projects.

The currently envisaged works comprise the following:

• Construction of a heavy lift jetty with associated mooring structures

• Dredging (substantially in rock, some possibly requiring drilling and blasting)

• Reclamation of about 2 Hectares of land over an intertidal area with anticipated beneficial use of the dredged material

• Remediation of existing land

• Surfacing of the reclaimed and remediated land with surface drainage

• Perimeter security fencing and gates

• Installation of internal electricity supplies for lighting and heavy duty power

• Provision of external services and connections

• Small ancillary buildings

• Environmental mitigation measures

The works are subject to grant funding which will have strict time limits.
