In plain English
Historic Environment Scotland wants a contractor to strengthen a section of the sea wall at Fort George North Glacis by pouring concrete beneath it. The work includes temporary support for the wall, digging from the beach side, building temporary moulds to hold the wet concrete, and restoring the beach afterwards.
What the buyer wants
• Carry out the underpinning of a section of the existing sea wall with mass concrete, including temporary propping and excavation from the beach side. • Install and secure formwork (temporary moulds) so the concrete can be poured beneath the wall, then remove the formwork. • Reinstate the existing beach once the works are complete.
Requirements
What could rule a small business out: The notice sets out no specific qualifications, experience or financial requirements, but the work is structural underpinning of a sea wall involving temporary propping and beach excavation, so a small business without marine or structural civil engineering experience and the plant to support it would most likely be ruled out.
Always check the tender documents.
