Adding Foundation

1.Go to Build → Assets →+ Add  → Foundation (Pile+Jacket)

When you click on +Add, then Foundation (Pile+Jacket), you will open the list of foundations in your Input Library. Here you will need to click on the foundation you want to add.

2. Now you will need to fill in the necessary information. You have to add: Number of foundations and location (all locations in Shoreline must be using decimal degrees and in EPSG:4326 WGS 84 system).

3.There are several ways to define the site area: 

  • (3.1) Clicking Define site area: This option allows you to define the area, and the positions are then distributed evenly within the defined area.
  • (3.2) Clicking Place individually on map: The position of each individual turbine is added by simply clicking on the location on the map.
  • (3.3) Clicking Import: This option allows you to import a file with the location specifications. 
  • (-) Defining the longitude and the latitude manually.
  • (-) Defining the "Completion start date" and "Grid start date" manually

We would recommend you define the site area or import the file - you can read more about importing here.

PLEASE NOTE: For Construction, wind turbines, foundations, and substations will have 'Grid start date' which is the date when testing can start from and 'Completion start date' which is the date when the wind farm is completed

3.1   Define site area 

3.1.1 Click  Mark corners on map. 

You can add as many corners as desired by clicking the  + icon to shape the polygon. 

You can define the site location by placing the corners in the map where the sites will be. You can cancel this option anytime before defining the last point by clicking  Cancel in the top message.

Click Populate site and the locations of the foundations will be populated.

PLEASE NOTE: You need to do this step. If you do not click on 'Populate site' and just click on 'Add', the corners selected will not be saved. You will need to repeat the process again. 

3.1.2 Click Add to finish.

3.2.2 Click Add to finish.

3.3  Import tab

Foundations can be added to a project using a layout file with coordinates for every foundation. You can always find more information on how the CSV file should look by reading this article: How to create .CSV files for import.

Editing Foundations

PLEASE NOTE: You will first need to add the foundations as shown above and save changes. Only then will you be able to edit.

2. Fill in the inputs in the window.

There are several input values for a foundations. Before adding information to the input values it is recommended to give the foundations a(n): 

- Infrastructure title: Is used to identify the asset in the user interface

- Configuration title: This can be used to specify more information

- Wind farm name: Is key when assigning vessels especially in the case that you have multiple wind farms

Next step is to edit all available input values. See more detail for each input this article.
