Overview
Kier Infrastructure is seeking to establish a dedicated supply chain to deliver a programme of both non intrusive and intrusive surveys in support of the design development and Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) requirements for one of our contracts. The trial trenching evaluation scope is currently being developed and will comprise between 2500 and 3000 50m long x 1.8m wide x 0.5m-1m deep trenches.
A standard size of trenching has been selected to better target, evaluate and characterise possible or probable archaeological features, avoid constraints and ensure appropriate coverage. Bespoke trench lengths have been placed for certain features and to avoid constraint; the scope of these trenches comprises approximately 10 20m trenches and between 50 and 100 30m trenches.
The Scope will also include an Archaeological watching brief. The archaeological monitoring will be carried out by a suitably qualified Subcontract, with any exposed archaeological remains excavated and recorded.
Additional details
The archaeological investigations will also be carried out in accordance with the relevant guidance. Note there is no additional scope information at this time.
