EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

This Construction Method Statement (CMS) has been prepared by MeyGen Ltd. to set out the proposed method for discharging the Condition 9 of the Section 36 Consent for the Development.

The document details the construction methods proposed for the Development, how construction related mitigation detailed in the Environmental Management Plan is to be delivered, the construction procedures and good working practices for installing the Development, how this document integrates with the wider environmental management of the Development, and how communication will be maintained between the Principal Contractor and MeyGen Ltd. on this Development.

The CMS presented within this document is to satisfy Condition 9 and enable construction of the Development to progress, subject to the CMS being implemented.

The CMS will be submitted to the licensing authority and consulted on by SNH, SEPA, MCA, the Planning Authority, NLB, and any such other advisors as may be required at the discretion of the Scottish Ministers, and will be used, where appropriate, to inform the discharge of other Conditions within the Section 36 Consent which refer to it.

THIS DOCUMENT ONLY CONSIDERS HDD MARINE WORKS. FURTHER CONSTRUCTION WORKS WILL BE DOCUMENTED IN SEPARATE CMS SUBMITTED FOR CONSULTATION AND APPROVAL PRIOR TO THAT PHASE COMMENCING.

1 INTRODUCTION

The MeyGen Tidal Energy Project Phase 1 (“the Development”) received consent under Section 36 of the Electricity Act 1989 from the Scottish Ministers on 9th October 2013 (“the S.36 Consent”). This Construction Method Statement (CMS) is prepared to enable Condition 9 of the S.36 Consent (“the Condition”) to be discharged. Condition 9 states:

The Company must, prior to the Commencement of the Development, submit to the Scottish Ministers a Construction Method Statement (“CMS”), in writing, endorsed by the Ecological Clerk of Works, as referred to in Condition 10 of this consent, to the Scottish Ministers for their approval, following consultation with SNH, the Scottish Environment Protection Agency, the Maritime and Coastguard Agency, the Planning Authority, Northern Lighthouse Board, and any such other advisors as may be required at the discretion of the Scottish Ministers. Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Scottish Ministers, construction of the Development must proceed in accordance with the approved CMS. The CMS must include, but is not limited to, the following information: a) Commencement dates; b) Working methods including the scope, frequency and hours of operations; c) Duration and Phasing Information of key elements of construction, for

example– turbine structures, foundations, turbine locations, inter-array cabling and land fall cabling;

d) Details of the location of the turbines, grid export cable(s), method of installation (including techniques and equipment) and depth of cable laying and cable landing sites;

e) Details of mitigation measures to prevent adverse impacts to species and habitats during construction;

f) Details of how all contractors and sub-contractors will be made aware of environmental sensitivities, what requirements they are expected to adhere to and how chains of command will work;

g) Confirmation of reporting mechanisms used to provide Scottish Ministers and relevant consultees with regular updates on construction activity, including any environmental issues encountered and how these have been addressed;

h) Vessel specification, routing, including location of vessel ports; and i) Pollution prevention measures including contingency plans.

The CMS must, so far as is reasonably practicable, be consistent with the Environmental Management Plan, the Project Environmental Monitoring Programme, the Vessel Management Plan and the Navigational Safety Plan.

Reason: To ensure the appropriate construction management of the Development, taking into account mitigation measures to protect the environment and other users of the marine area.

This document sets out the proposed CMS that MeyGen Ltd, intends to undertake, to allow the Condition to be discharged.

2 SCOPE OF CONSTRUCTION METHOD STATEMENT

Phase 1a of the Development is a 6MW, 4 tidal turbines initial phase to be installed and operatives under the restriction placed on the Development by Condition 2 of the S.36 Consent.

This document is the CMS for the marine works associated with the Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) Works for Phase 1a only (“HDD Marine Works”).

Given the Phase 1a programme for construction works associated with Phase 1a it has been agreed with the licensing authority that the CMS and other related consent documents for the installation of the Phase 1a infrastructure (4 x Tidal Turbine Generators (TTG), 4 x Gravity-base Turbine Support Structures (TSS) and Turbine Subsea Cables (TSC) can be submitted at a later date “the Construction Works”. MeyGen Ltd. will produce and update relevant documents for these construction works; these will be submitted and get approval prior to commencement of these works.

The CMS forms part of a suite of documents related to the consent conditions that MeyGen Ltd. seek to discharge:

Environmental Management Plan (EMP) (S.36 Consent, Condition 11) including Marine Pollution Contingency Plan (Marine Licence, Condition 3.2.13), Reporting Protocol for the Discovery of Marine Archaeology (S.36 Consent, Condition 16);

Vessel Management Plan (VMP) (S.36 Consent, Condition 14); and

Navigation Safety Plan (NSP) (S.36 Consent, Condition 17).

The CMS is in accordance with the construction methods assessed in the Environmental Statement (ES) and Supplementary Environmental Information Statement (SEIS) and includes details of how the construction related mitigation steps documented in the EMP are to be delivered. The EMP commits MeyGen Ltd. to safeguarding the environment through the identification, avoidance and mitigation of the potential negative environmental impacts associated with the development, construction and operation of the tidal array. The CMP will be an integral element of the EMP.

The CMS contains the following sections:

Roles and Responsibilities;

Programme;

Construction Methods and Procedures (including mitigation);

Emergency Preparedness and Response;

Licences and Legal Requirements;

Linkages with Other Conditions;

Linkages with Other Strategies and SHE Management Systems;

3 COMMUNICATION, ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

This section details the project team roles, responsibilities and lines of communication during the construction and operation of the Development.

3.1 Responsibilities and Ownership

The Principal Contractor (PC) will have the ultimate responsibility for ensuring the implementation of the CMS.

The Ecological Clerk of Works (ECoW) will provide quality assurance and approval of any version of the CMS.

Any updates to the CMS by the PC will require the ECoW to check compliance with current legislation, consent conditions and related documents. Updated CMS will then be submitted to Scottish Ministers for approval.

3.2 Organisation Chart and Reporting

The organisational chart for the HDD Marine Works is below in . This includes how communication as part of the CMS will be conducted in normal working procedures and in the case of emergencies.

The organisation chart presents the key interfaces, lines of communication and responsibilities with regards to the flow of requirements and provision of mitigating actions across the HDD Marine Works.

Figure 2 HDD Marine Works Programme

5 CONSTRUCTION METHODS AND PROCEDURES

5.1 HDD Works

4 x HDD Bores are to be drilled from the onshore Ness of Quoys Power Conversion Centre to target exit locations on the seabed (Figure 3). The HDD bores are drilled using at 16’ (406mm) drill bit. As the drilling is undertaken, the exact location of the drill head is monitored as it proceeds along its path and provide real-time information as to its location and depth. This will be achieved using a Real-Time Constant Rate Gyroscope based guidance system which is impervious to magnetic interference.

During the drilling process, drilling fluid (bentonite mud) is pumped down the inside of the drill string where it cools the guidance system and drilling motor. The drilling fluid then flows out of the drill bit via nozzles and flushes drilled cuttings back to surface as it flows up the annulus. The drilling fluid also lubricates and supports the borehole. Before the drill is punched out onto the seabed the drill string will be pulled from the bore and re-run performing a ‘wiper trip’ to condition the drilling mud and remove cuttings from the bore. When the drill punches out onto the seabed drilling muds will immediately stop cycling; a small amount of bentonite and cuttings will be released into the marine environment (bentonite will flocculate on contact with salt water).

As described in the EMP (Marine Pollution Contingency Plan) a small amount of bentonite drilling mud and cuttings will be released into the marine environment. As stated in Marine Licence Condition 3.1.9 any drill cuttings associated with the use of water-based drilling muds situated within the outer boundary of the works need not be removed from the seabed.
