Prince George Extension Cathodic Protection Trial at Southend Pier

Southend Borough Council requires a contractor to carry out concrete repairs and two Cathodic Protection trials at the above site located on the Pier Head. The Pier is a Grade 11 Listed Building and extends out to sea approx. 1.3 miles.

The contract will require works to be undertaken at the pier head only. Due to tidal patterns the lower deck will be below the sea at high tides, timbers are accessible at low tides and careful planning and co-ordination will be required to maximise opportunities to undertake work at high tides. The successful contractor will be responsible for the safe supervision and coordination of all works including civil, structural and design and associated M&E works.

As described the Prince George Extension at Southend Pier was constructed in the late 1920’s. Formed of reinforced concrete, the pier has shown signs of corrosion for a number of years. In order to provide corrosion protection to extend the life of the structure, a suitable corrosion protection system is required.

This project will entail the installation to two trial CP systems, namely:

• i)Impressed Current Trial

• ii)Galvanic Anode Trial

We will require suitable contractors with experience in the following:
