Notice Title

Assessing the Performance of Soil and Grass in Resisting Erosion

Notice Description

The performances of the grass cover when a dam or embankment is being overflowed or overtopped (waves) is a critical factor in controlling the process of breach development which can lead to catastrophic failure. Similarly, the performance of soil in resisting the processes of external and internal erosion is critical when a dam/embankment is under load. Our current understanding of the performance of grass and soil is limited, confined to incomplete and out dated research completed in the 1970's and 80's. The overall objective of this project is to improve our quantitative understanding of grass and soil performance when a dam or flood embankment is under load and/or being overtopped/overflowed. It will also consolidate current understanding and will seek to bring together other international research efforts. Additional information: The tender process is being undertaken within Bravo, an online portal. Therefore you will find all tender questions and the areas for you to submit your tender response within the Bravo system. Tenders submitted outside of the Bravo portal will not be accepted. Guidance on how to register can be located on the main portal screen. Information on the use of Bravo can be found in the 'Help' section in the top right hand corner of the portal once you have registered or selected an 'Opportunity'. All queries regarding using the system that are not answered by this guidance section should be directed to the e-Sourcing Helpdesk run by Bravo Solution (the suppliers of the portal) who can be contacted via: Phone: 0800 368 4850 Email: help@bravosolution.co.uk https://defra.bravosolution.co.uk/web/login.html
