AMS Trenchless, based in Scunthorpe, will undertake specialist works at the landfall site at Weybourne, North Norfolk where the offshore cables meet the onshore cables.
Using Horizontal Directional Drilling (HDD) – a method of installing ducting, pipes and cables beneath existing infrastructure without disruption – AMS Trenchless will install underground cable ducts that allow export cables to be pulled to land from a jack-up barge without using trenches or disrupting the existing sea defences.
