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.

Cole Brauer Has Made Her Mark

After successfully completing her 27,759-mile solo nonstop sail around the world last Thursday as part of the Global Solo Challenge, Cole Brauer received myriad thank-yous from near and far for having not only inspired a generation of young women (and at the beginning of International Women’s Month, no less) who might not otherwise have taken up a historically male-dominated sport, but also for having inspired everyone — young and old, male and female.
