In plain English
Conwy County Borough Council wants a contractor to rebuild a failing retaining wall that holds up Waterloo Hill, near postcode LL22 8RH. The old concrete bag wall has deteriorated beyond repair, so it will be replaced with a new reinforced concrete wall, anchored into the ground with long metal rods (soil nails), and faced with stone. The road surface will also be reinstated and resurfaced once the work is done.
What the buyer wants
• Design and build a new reinforced concrete retaining wall with masonry facing and a natural stone parapet (the low wall along the top edge). • Stabilise the ground by installing soil nails (long reinforcing rods fixed into the hillside) to secure the structure. • Reinstate and resurface the carriageway (road surface) above the wall to keep the highway safe in the long term.
Likely requirements
Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.
The most likely barrier is a lack of proven soil nailing and retaining wall experience on public highways, combined with missing highway works accreditations (such as NRSWA) and the financial and insurance levels a council will require for a £275,000 scheme.
How to bid
This is an open tender: any eligible business can respond directly to the buyer by the deadline, with no framework membership needed.
