The scope of works is: • The depth of existing carriageway bituminous layers. • Establish if tar is present in the carriageway construction. • If tar is suspected, that it is tested to establish the PAH content. The works will be located across the County.

Anticipated value is £375k over the full 3 years, £125k per annum.The opportunity is advertised on our tender portal Supplying the South West: https://procontract.due-north.com/Advert?advertId=df0a0d4...
