Port Talbot Multi-Storey Car Park 'Living Wall'

Description

Neath Port Talbot Council have been issued with a ‘Green Recovery’ fund provided by Welsh Government which aim is to tackle inequalities and make local authorities look at innovative ways to provide solutions that would be beneficial to nature and to the residents of the county borough. The creation of a ‘Living Wall’ on Port Talbot multi-storey Car Park intends to tackle the issues of ‘heat island’ effect, air and noise pollution as well as provide a habitat for wildlife. It would also provide a more pleasing, ‘greener’ façade to properties overlooking the area as well as to visitors to the shopping centre. The project seeks to procure a contractor to design, construct and deliver a ‘living wall’ (also often referred to as ‘green wall’) on part of the car park façade directly adjacent to the M4 motorway and we are therefore inviting for quotations. This project will serve as a pilot example of best practice to demonstrate that green infrastructure can fulfill multiple functions and deliver multiple benefits. The successful contractor will deliver a ‘living wall’ over the period July to October 2023. Please contact Marie Fowler, Green Infrastructure Officer, for full details and tender documentation at m.fowler@npt.gov.uk Deadline for receipt of Tender is 14:00 on 23rd June 2023
