Abstract

The 2011 Annual Activity Report for the Thornton Bank Offshore Wind Farm documents the ongoing development of the project, focusing on Phase 2 construction activities. The report details significant progress, including the successful installation of 196 foundation pin-piles ahead of schedule.

Key environmental monitoring activities included:

  • Bathymetric surveys
  • Cable route assessments
  • Sedimentation and erosion monitoring
  • Sea mammal protection during pile driving

No major environmental incidents were reported. The project continued to advance towards its goal of 54 wind turbines with a total capacity of 325 MW, maintaining rigorous safety and environmental protocols.
