Stockton Drilling was contracted to horizontally directionally drill two 450m long cable ducts from the land to a point beyond the low water mark for the installation of the HVAC cables for the windfarm. The project began in March 2017 to install the cable ducts at a site location just to the west of Buckie. Red7Marine supplied


the Haven Seariser 1 and operational jack-up barge crew to assist in the recovery and transport of the drilling equipment. The barge was equipped with a 130t crawler crane to carry out the marine lifts.


Stockton Drilling launched the 1.2m diameter tunnel boring machine (TBM) for the first tunnel drive from the land
