Tender description

East Sussex Highways require delivery of highway safety barrier service inspections to capture & undertake the following: • Structural condition & integrity inspection, including compliance check with the requirements of TD19 and any recommendations for replacement and/or repair; • Assessment of anticipated life expectancy of asset & suggested future maintenance inspection regime; • Measurement of mounting height, barrier length & setback; • Condition & type of surface protective treatment; • Tensioned safety fence bolt tensioning check and resetting of torque to correct levels as appropriate; • Site assessment of justification for barrier provision (i.e. type of hazardous roadside features present) and • Record of proximity/connection to adjacent highway structures & parapets (e.g. bridges/culverts/retaining walls). It is envisaged that this work will feed into the development of a more long term maintenance strategy for these assets and a risk based appraisal/policy for their future introduction/replacement.
