Where does the cable come ashore?
The cable will be buried beneath the seabed to shore and then drilled underneath the coast and the sea defence wall between the Holland Haven radar mast and Clacton Sailing Club. The directional drilling will surface in the old clay pit within Holland Haven Park, near the toilets. From here, the cable will be trenched, either in open trenches, in preinstalled ducts or as directionally drilling where appropriate (e.g. beneath roads, rivers and railways) to the substation on Sladbury’s Lane, near the railway bridge. The cable trench and working area will be re-established as it was before the trench was made.
