The onshore cable ducts
The project will include the connection of six offshore electricity cables to the onshore cables at the landfall site in Pensam wiring duct. The onshore cable ducts will be installed under the coastal defence and railway using Trenchless Technology. The primary technique under consideration for these works is HDD, although other methods such as cable trunking thrust boring may be used.
HDD will also be used to install onshore cables at a number of highway crossings to minimise disruptions to traffic. HDD and duct installation work will most likely ducts be undertaken outside of the peak tourist season.
