Tender description
The service to be provided relates primarily to the Client’s local authority function in relation to its stock of approximately 78 highway structures but excluding the five river bridges referred to above. The stock consists of road-over-road bridges, road-over-rail bridges, pedestrian walkway-over-road bridges, pedestrian subways and a network of service subways. The Consultant should note that the network of service subways are defined as confined spaces and a permit to work procedure is operated. This is also the case for the disused pedestrian subways and public convenience in the Aldgate area, which are now sealed and accessed by manholes in most cases. The Client undertakes a 6-year rolling programme of structural inspection which consists of a General Inspection (GI) of each bridge every two years and a more detailed Principal Inspection (PI) every 6 years. A draft inspection programme for the contract period is included in Annex 4. Further information can be found inside of the tender documents -
