Geotechnical investigations for the Sandford Bay marine route commenced in early July 2025. A jack‑up barge and associated geotechnical crew collected seabed core samples (four offshore bore/core locations were indicted for the area) to characterise sediment strength and stratigraphy and to inform burial and installation method selection for the subsea HVDC cables.
