Supply of Rigid PVC-u Sheet Piling

Tender description

Bord na Móna has, in recent years, permanently ceased peat production. In line with Bord na Móna’s accelerated decarbonization strategy, the company has also committed to an ambitious scheme for enhanced peatland rehabilitation. The Peatland Climate Action Scheme (PCAS) focuses on optimizing suitable hydrological conditions (stable water levels close to the surface) by blocking production field drains and employing other wetland engineering measures. These measures will create soggy peatland conditions that will naturally colonise by plants and animals and will allow compatible peatland habitats to re-develop. It will also slow water movement across these bogs. Some of the afore mentioned measures require the installation of Rigid plastic sheet piles to create drainage features that manage the water level within the bogs in particular situations.

It will also slow water movement across these bogs. Some of the afore mentioned measures require the installation of Rigid plastic sheet piles to create drainage features that manage the water level within the bogs in particular situations. It is envisaged that the Rigid Plastic sheet piles will be required in phases with circa 20 bogs per year being under consideration over a 3-year period 2022 to 2024. Expressions of interest are invited from suitably qualified candidates interested in being considered for the supply of Rigid PVC-u sheet piling to Bord na Móna. The geometry of the Rigid PVC-U sheet piles should be not less than 300mm wide and 2.5m long, possessing a corrugated or boxed profile and form part of an interlocking system.
