  • Appendix C - Assessment of Corridor B
    APPENDIX C - ASSESSMENT OF CORRIDOR B C1 DESCRIPTION OF CORRIDOR Corridor B is the second of the options to be assessed (taken in order from the west). It is shown in Drawing Number. 49550/G/02, and an extract is given below showing the corridor. It is defined at its western boundary by the oil pipeline which crosses the Firth between Bo’ness and Torry Bay. The eastern boundary of this corridor is formed by the gas pipelines which cross the Firth between the area west of Blackness Bay and Ironmill Bay ©Crown copyright. All rights reserved. License Number 100019139 C2 INFLUENCE OF GEOLOGY East of Grangemouth, between Preston Island to the north and Bo'ness to the south, it is suggested that rockhead plunges to an anticipated depth of 190m in the middle of the Forth. The maximum depth to rockhead is anticipated to decrease eastwards, although conjectural depths have not been mapped. The log of one borehole in Corridor B, near the northern edge of the current shipping channel, was extended to over 100m without reaching rockhead. This suggests that in this area there is generally a considerable depth of sediment. In this corridor the overlying sediments are also classified as ranging from fair to unpredictable. In the absence of more detailed information, the sediments are judged unsuitable as founding strata for the main towers of a large suspension bridge. A cross section of the Firth of Forth within this corridor has been prepared to illustrate the approximate geology. This has been done using available information and is shown in Figure C.1 below.
