Civil engineering consultancy services

Tender description

A competition is being undertaken for provision of consultancy services to the Department of agriculture, food and the marine for investigation, permitting and design of dredge works at Howth FHC, Dublin. Due to build-up of siltation, it is necessary to dredge the existing basins and approach channels in Howth FHC in order to provide safe access, navigation and berthing to the vessels currently using the harbour, and to provide for appropriate maintenance of same into the future through a programme of measurement and maintenance dredging. The aim of the overall project is to increase the depth of water in order to provide safe access and harbour, to the largest range of vessel size and type on the widest range of tides, within the structural parameters of the existing harbour quay structures and where possible to treat and re-use or dispose of dredge material in an environmentally sensitive and cost effective manner.
