Monmouthshire County Council intends to appoint a contractor to manage and deliver an underwater inspection programme over a five-year period, commencing in 2025 and concluding in 2030.
The programme will involve annual inspections of 23 structures located within Monmouthshire. The contractor will be responsible for:
Arranging and carrying out inspections
Producing inspection reports in accordance with CS 450 standards
Inspection arrangements will include, but are not limited to:
Programming and access planning (e.g. dive teams, CCTV, confined space entry)
Preparation of risk assessments and method statements
Public liaison (including letter drops and residential access coordination)
