Fair Head Tidal Information Day
Welcome to Fair Head Tidal Information Day Fair Head Tidal (FHT) was awarded an Agreement for Lease from The Crown Estate in 2012 which grants it exclusive rights to carry out surveys on the site and, subject to securing the necessary consents, apply for a long term lease to use the site for the construction and operation of a tidal array with an installed capacity of up to 100MW. This exhibition outlines some of the survey work we have been doing on the site, an assessment of the ﬁndings and information on what we would be seeking to build. The next step is a formal planning application to the Department of Agriculture, Environment and Rural Affairs to seek consent to build and operate the project. We welcome your feedback on this exhibition and our plans. Who we are Fair Head Tidal Project is a joint venture between two independent offshore renewable energy specialists, DP Marine Energy (DPME) and Bluepower NV. DPME is one of a group of companies headquartered in Cork operating under the DP Energy name. DP Energy View north across Murlough Bay towards Fair Head is a renewable energy and sustainable development specialist business which has been pioneering renewable energy projects for over 20 years, operating in sites across the world.

DENSITY OF IRISH ROCKS The densities of 157 rock specimens :in the Geophysics Labora tory of Trinity College, Dublin, have been determined to provide data for the . evaluation and interpretation of the gravity survey of Ireland. These rock samples have been collected at various times for different purposes, but, in the main, are fairly repre sentative of the rock types occurring in this country. The average size of each sample was about 25 ccs. and its density was deter.mined with a Walker Steelyard Balance, weighirigs being taken in air and in wate~. Most of the samples were imper vious to water and, apart from ensuring that all air bubbles were eliminated, no special efforts were taken to ensure that they were saturated.. Sandstone specimens, especially of Triassic age, were the most difficult to measw-e since they tended to break down in water. In these cases the weighing in water was carried out after the removal of all loosely attached grains and, if a second weigh ing in water was necessitated by further loss of loose grains, this weighing was carried out after drying in air overnight. This procedure was repeated until satisfactory readings were obtained. Highly vesicular specimens were boiled in water for five minutes · and allowed to cool in cold water before the weighing in water. This method, though satisfactory with porous rocks, was inevitably unreliable when applied to specimens which were both vesicular ii In the table the reference number is that in the catalogue of the Geophysics Laboratory at Trinity College, Dublin.
