Cannizaro Park – Main Lawn: Soil and Vegetation Improvement Works

Tender description

Cannizaro Park – Main Lawn: Soil and Vegetation Improvement Works The proposal should improve the site's ability to absorb, retain and attenuate rainfall through a programme of soil decompaction, rootzone improvements and enhanced vegetation establishment. The works should improve infiltration, reduce surface water runoff and improve the site's drainage performance, while strengthening its role within the park's wider green infrastructure network. The project should help address localised surface water issues and improve the resilience of the landscape to periods of heavy rainfall and other extreme weather events, supporting wider natural flood management objectives. Vegetation establishment will form an integral part of the works, creating a stable, permeable and resilient vegetated surface that supports water infiltration, uptake and long-term attenuation. Proposed work - Aeration: approximately 125mm depth, suitable linear aeration equipment. - Rootzone improvement: up to 60 tonnes of 60/40 rootzone, used to correct undulations and incorporated into the surface. - Overseeding: two directions, 35g/m², specified seed mix or equivalent. - Fertilisation: 10-15-10 at 35g/m². Area Approx. 5000 m2
