Orsted Wind Farm Cable Survey Comes Ashore

Tue, 12/22/2020 - 14:40

The developers of the South Fork Wind farm will conduct site assessments and soil borings as part of survey work having to do with the wind farm's onshore transmission cable installation starting as soon as Jan. 4.

Orsted U.S. Offshore Wind and Eversource Energy recently completed geotechnical survey work off the ocean beach at the end of Beach Lane in Wainscott, where the wind farm's transmission cable is to make landfall. From there it is to be buried on a path to the Long Island Power Authority substation off Cove Hollow Road in East Hampton.

The coming work will take place within town-owned road rights of way, with no activity anticipated on private property. The work is expected to happen along portions of Beach Lane, Wainscott's Main Street, Wainscott Stone Road, and Wainscott Northwest Road.

This work will take approximately three weeks for completion, according to a spokeswoman for the developers, and will take place between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m., Monday through Friday.
