The NPRA is working on a revision of the current Manual R762 - Specification Code 2, and the revision work is to be completed in 2014, with an option to extend until 28 February 2015. To supplement this project, the NPRA needs to recruit advisors with expertise in geotechnical structures such as sheet piling, anchors and slurry trench walls; wooden structures; and inspection, operation and bridge maintenance. The assignment is appropriately divided into three sub-assignments, and advice is sought in the following areas:
— Sub-assignment 1: Specification 83: Mainly sheet piling, anchors and slurry trench walls
— Sub-assignment 2: Specification 86: Sub-specification 86.1 Timber Structures
— Sub-assignment 3: Specification 88: Inspection, operations and bridge maintenance
