- W2182310119 abstract "The continuing growth of urban areas inevitably leads to additional pressures, to develop supporting infrastructure, in the rural landscapes which surround them. Quite often, these regions are areas of outstanding natural beauty, ecologically sensitive sites or sites of special scientific interest. This requires the careful design and implementation of site investigations. This is necessary to guarantee the future sustainability of these resources without irreparably damaging their character. A programme of geophysical and geotechnical ground investigation work was carried out for a 40 turbine wind farm in a remote, upland area of the Scottish Highlands, dominated by moorland vegetation, and peat. The ground investigations were designed to provide relevant data and to gain a conceptual understanding of the geology, the near-surface geotechnical characteristics, geohazards, hydrogeology and ground conditions at, and in the vicinity of, each turbine base, and associated infrastructure. It was a requirement of the investigation to cause minimum environmental impact on the ecologically sensitive moorland. The project comprised of a desk study, non-invasive geophysical surveys including: ground penetrating radar, 2D resistivity imaging and seismic refraction. This was verified by an invasive drilling and trial pitting programme, including sampling and laboratory testing. The primary objectives of the ground investigation were to determine the depth of surface peat cover, thickness of sub-peat glacial deposits, and thickness and competency of the underlying weathered and fresh metamorphic bedrock. One of the most significant issues in carrying out the project was the logistics of transporting the necessary equipment and field crews from the base camp to each individual survey site across a difficult landscape, dominated by peat and bogs, of over 25 square kilometres, with elevations over 750 m AOD whilst maintaining an efficient production rate. The objectives of this paper are to document and draw attention to this ground investigation, in an ecologically sensitive environment. This paper describes the various technical and logistical problems and how they were overcome to provide geophysical, geological and geotechnical information which provided the basis for underpinning the engineering design of the wind turbine bases." @default.
