Table 18.4 Recommendations of the International Cable Protection Committee (ICPC) Title
Detail
ICPC Recommendation No. 13. Proximity of Wind Farm Developments & Submarine Cables
ICPC Recommendation No.13. Proximity of Wind Farm Developments & Submarine Cables
Section 2 Consultation: “Owners of wind farms and those planning construction are strongly advised to contact the submarine cable owners during the initial planning stage for information on existing and planned submarine cables”.
Section 4 Separation recommendations: this section outlines a method for determining separation distances between wind turbines and existing cables. It also states that “Precise separation distances should be agreed and documented between the parties during the planning process. It is also recommended that wind farm developers consult the following ICPC Recommendation No.7: Procedure To Be Followed Whilst Offshore Civil Engineering Work Is Undertaken In The Vicinity Of Active Submarine Cable Systems”
ICPC Recommendation No. 5. Standardisation Of Cable Awareness Charts
Section 2.6.6 Safe Working Distance or Cable Buffer Zone" - Members may wish to designate a "safe working distance" on either side of the cable corridor. Such a zone indicates the recommended distance sea bed users who conduct activity likely to cause damage to a submarine telephone cable shall keep from the cable.
ICPC Recommendation No. 2 Recommended Routing and Reporting Criteria for Cables in Proximity to Others
ICPC Recommendation No. 3 Criteria to be Applied to Proposed Crossings Between Submarine Telecommunications Cables and Pipelines/Power Cables
Provides generalised cable routing and notification criteria that the ICPC recommend be used when undertaking cable route planning activities where the cable to be installed crosses, approaches close to or parallels an existing or planned system.
Describes the basic considerations required and lists issues that should be addressed when pipeline/power cables cross telecommunications.
20. A number of other specific guidance documents have also been taken into account when completing this assessment. These include:
Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) - The 28th Round general guidance (DECC 2014).
DECC- The 27th Round Other Regulatory Issues (DECC 2012). DECC - The 26th Round Other Regulatory Issues – Version 2 (DECC 2011).
