The Aberdeen Harbour Board has gone out to tender with a contract for construction works worth an estimated £15 million.
Construction work on the Aberdeen South Harbour has now commenced and the new harbour has been partially constructed. However, the revetment works remain incomplete with uncertainty regarding the stability of the remaining structure. Without substantial works being undertaken there is a significant risk that erosion of the existing works will lead to further land slippage and risk to the adjacent roads infrastructure.
The opportunity is for immediate work on the partially constructed harbour to safeguard the project. Key aspects of the contract will include the ability to mobilise and commence works quickly. The Harbour Board is looking for the programme of works to substantial completion of rock removal by August 2020 and completion of all works prior to the onset of winter season 2020.
This latest tender covers the completion of further works including:
- a new revetment
- dredging between existing piles
- complete soft dredging operations
- excavation, dredging and disposal of rock in a marine environment
- placement of bedding and levelling materials for concrete caisson units
The works are aimed at preventing coastal erosion from impacting on local infrastructure and the loss of the partially constructed works, together with associated potential impact on the marine environment.
The Harbour Board has drawn attention to the removal of rock through blasting which has been used previously on the project. The process experienced considerable delays due to marine and environmental conditions.
Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate is 15th June 2020 – click here to access the tender documentation.
