Orkney Islands Council (Harbour Authority) has gone out to tender with a contract for the construction of the Orkney Logistics Base (Hatston) Phase 1 worth an estimated £7.5 million.
The improvements and extensions at Hatston Pier are part of the Orkney Harbours Masterplan - an ambitious blueprint that provides a framework for the long-term future of the islands.
The initial phase of the Masterplan was targetted at looking at the infrastructure that will be required to ensure the future operations of the Harbour Authority. This included the potential for a new deep water facility in Scapa Flow.
The Orkney Logistics Base Phase 1 development is the infilling of the South-East shoreline to the South side of the existing causeway to the existing Hatston Pier, including a small area of steel sheet piling to ensure a transition from the proposed HGV Parking area within Phase 1 to the main suspended deck pier, concrete paving, roads and services and supporting drainage.
The procurement for the design and construction of the Phase 1 works includes:
- formation of new outer rock armoured containment bund
- approx. 2.2 hectares seabed reclamation
- installation of steel sheet piling and construction of new concrete hardstanding areas to provide lorry marshalling and general laydown
- associated access roads, services and drainage.
The successful Contractor will be appointed as Principal Contractor under CDM Regs for the design and construction of the project utilising NEC4 ECC contract.
Timescale for the construction contract is 24 months.
