Government Classification of: Official Sensitive
All weirs in the Thames area which use wire ropes (stainless steel) and suitable shackles to lift and lower gates during operation and maintenance, require routine wire rope replacement.
The replacement requires the manufacture of gate specific wire ropes, built to individual asset specifications of length, thickness, working load limits, ends (e.g. hard eye, swaged studs, fused and tapered) and shackle type. Once manufactured, these must be delivered to the EA Depot for the EA's diving contractor who will install them.
The supplier must have:
• Relevant experience
• Ability to provide QA Certificates to ensure the working load limits are within specification
• Ability to meet the lead times for delivery
The Contractor may subcontract the provision of weir ropes, fixtures and fittings however, it must not affect the Contractor’s ability to fulfil its obligations under the contract.
