Pre‑lay surveys and cable route clearance for Eastern Green Link 3 are planned prior to cable installation and will include investigations and clearance for potential unexploded ordnance (UXO). National Grid / SSEN stated that pre‑lay surveys carried out by the installation contractor will validate known constraints (including potential UXO) and that clearance activities (e.g., pre‑lay grapnel runs, ROV investigation, magnetometer surveys and mass flow excavation or boulder clearance) would be used where required to remove hazards before cable laying.
