Pre‑installation and environmental baseline surveys for EGL1 commenced during the project enabling phase in 2024 (and continued into 2025). These studies included seabed and intertidal ecological baseline surveys, geophysical mapping, archaeological assessment and land topographic surveys around the Torness and Seaham landfalls to inform environmental impact assessment, micro‑routing and onshore enabling works. The Environmental Appraisal Report (EAR) documented the required survey methods and their purpose in supporting micro‑routing and mitigation.
