This piece of research is Phase 2 of the Tees Tidelands footpath project. We want to appoint contractors / consultants to work with Natural England, RSPB Saltholme and an identified Nationally Significant Infrastructure Project (NSIP) to complete a technical investigation and methodological research report that will achieve two aims. Aim 1: Make full technical recommendations, via a research report, regarding the safe planning and construction options for the south section of the proposed footpath route. This includes safe and effective planning, engineering and fabrication/design/cost options for the 2 x structures that will allow the footpath to cross identified 2 x pipeline chambers. The chambers are built from concrete with a steel protective hood and protect the mixed gas pipeline corridor as it traverses from the above ground to lay under Cowpen Bewley Road. Aim 2: This research also aims to provide an example of good practice in collaborative working between an NSIP project and local environmental organisations to improve green infrastructure whilst meeting myriad health and safety requirements. The outcomes of this research will be shared with partners and wider organisations to act as an example of good practice to inform the potential to develop future green infrastructure projects alongside NSIP projects located within and external to designated SSSI sites. The research report will therefore document methodologies and best-practice approaches used to effectively engage and work with the identified infrastructure project and e-NGOs in order to achieve positive outcomes for the construction of new green infrastructure.
