Hawke’s Bay Regional Council (HBRC) is now seeking Request for Tender (RFT) from suitably experienced geotechnical engineers to carry out geotechnical investigations and stopbank designs along the Heretaunga Plains Flood Control Scheme.

This package of works is for approximately ~5.6 km of stop across two different sections of Stopbank along the true right of the Ngaruroro River:

1. Pakowhai Park – Cross sections 15 to 20 ~ 2.7 km of stopbank

2. Raupare Lower- Cross sections 20 to 27 ~2.9km of stopbank Hawkes Bay Regional Council (HBRC) is undertaking these projects in response to the potential effects of climate change, and rising sea levels to increase the durability, sustainability, and level of service of the Heretaunga Plains Flood Control Scheme (HPFCS).

The geotechnical consultant is to be asked to undertake analysis, reporting and design for the elements within the stopbank zone. Within the scope, the Consultant may be asked to gather information that may not be directly relevant to the stopbank condition assessment, however this may be sought for other tasks, and it is simply efficient to gather the information now.

Responding to this RFT will enable you to be considered for the Pakowhai Park and Raupare Lower geotechnical works.
