The BEEMS (British EDF Estuarine and Marine Studies) programme is funded by NNB Generating Company HPC (NNB GenCo). Through this programme, Cefas provide authoritative scientific information on the marine and transitional waters in the vicinity of potential new build nuclear power stations and require a competent Supplier to deliver the element described below.

The initial objective of this work was to install a tide gauge to provide a precise, robust and reliable system for continuous monitoring, and subsequent transmission of data for tide level at the offshore intake screen marker beacon approximately 1000m from the Sizewell power station.

Levels recorded on site and transmitted on a 5 minute frequency to the onshore system
Sufficient power source to maintain service all year round
Data to be transmitted to the onshore system via radio link
Data to be sent daily to CEFAS FTP site
Data to be logged on the onshore system
A 4-20mA data feed from the onshore system into the Sizewell power station SCADA system
Ensure vessel used for servicing complies with Cefas' VSAID processes.

In order to ensure the system continues to function correctly and record accurate data it is strongly advised that both the onshore and offshore systems are regularly serviced at 6 monthly intervals.
