Notice Title

Seasalter Levels: landscape development

Notice Description

The Employer; the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) wishes to develop grazing marshland at Seasalter Level on the North Kent coast west of Whitstable as a habitat for wetland birds.

Lot Information

Lot 1

Over the course of 2021, this project will undertake engineering works to enhance the in-field topography and disconnect the areas from the landscape drainage regime in order to provide habitats for wetland birds. We will create discrete hydrological units across the Seaslater Levels designed to capture rainfall and be supplemented by surface water abstractions, in order to provide the required hydrological conditions for the desired habitat. To do this, groundworks are required to create the water retaining features and, to improve the habitat more generally. Using a cut and fill approach, these works should create a number of new or modified structures during a programme of phased groundworks including the creation of: islands, rills, perimeter lips, low point 'plugs', crossing points/culverts, crossing points /dams, ditch reprofiling and the decommissioning of selected land drains. In addition we require some areas to be dressed with hardstanding in areas used for livestock management and turning points for vehicles. The winning Tender bid will become Principal Contractor for the Seasalter South unit which including LNR and Monkshill areas. Details of how to apply in tender documents
