P2266 Riverbank Works Serpentine Park Buxton

Description

High Peak Borough Council wish to appoint a suitable contractor to complete riverbank works at Serpentine Park Buxton High Peak. A breach in the left bank upstream wall has created an overland bypass channel around the weir, which over time has caused further wash out, creating a deep channel. The water re-joins the River Wye by passing through and over the downstream left hand wall. The same effect was seen further upstream, however to a lesser extent. Dewatering of the channel to allow for excavation of ground behind the existing dry stone wall and the construction of two concrete gravity retaining walls in the areas the voids have formed. The works are required to start in June/July for a period of 5 wks completion. For further details please refer to the specification documents.
