<strong>Review</strong> <strong>of</strong> <strong>Cabling</strong> <strong>Techniques</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Environmental</strong> <strong>Effects</strong> <strong>Applicable</strong> to the Offshore Wind<br />
Farm Industry – Technical Report<br />
Another generation <strong>of</strong> dredging only units have occasionally been used for<br />
cable burial work at inshore locations. These dredging units are large suction<br />
machines which are generally used to excavate large holes in the seabed <strong>and</strong><br />
are more commonly used for seabed levelling <strong>and</strong> dredging activities. Owing<br />
to the imprecise nature <strong>of</strong> their mode <strong>of</strong> operation, scarcity <strong>of</strong> use, <strong>and</strong> because<br />
they have a significant environmental impact, they are considered unlikely to be<br />
used for the burial <strong>of</strong> <strong>of</strong>fshore wind farm cables. They have not, therefore, been<br />
included in the scope <strong>of</strong> review <strong>of</strong> this study.<br />
