Notice Description

The CWRR project includes a new opening road bridge linking Renfrew to Glasgow and West Dunbartonshire at a location just east of Rothesay Dock on Dock Street Clydebank. The operational provisions require that the bridge opens to shipping as a priority over road traffic crossing the bridge. While the bridge is designed and constructed in a manner which minimises the risk of the bridge failing to open when required. It also includes a number of redundancy features to enable intervention to overcome mechanical failure and allow the bridge to open. As an absolute fail-safe measure, the project includes a layby berth, located on the riverside of Rothesay Dock, where vessels travelling up river, will be able to berth, should all other measures not allow the bridge to open. The Council are looking to appoint two suitably experienced Maritime Linesmen, who will be available 24 hours per day, 365 days per year on on-call basis to support mooring and let go operations as and when required by the Client and in the event of the bridge not opening.
