Question
:
Is non-destructive condition assessment works required as part of this tender in the form of scanning of ferrous materials to measure wall thicknesses? Rock Solid Group would be happy to work with any prime contractors should these type of works be required. We are a professional NDT company offering unique technology for infrastructure assessment and would be happy to assist.

Good day
there is no requirement for scanning of ferrous materials on this project, unless directed by the Superintendent for example if there is a query on the condition of pipework in the SPS, but this would be unlikely.
kind regards
