Three Year Navaids Maintenance Contract for Trinity House
Trinity House in the UK has won a three year contract for the maintenance of aids to navigation around the coasts of Devon and Cornwall that are the responsibility of South West Water. These navaids, numbering more than 300 buoys and beacons, mark outfalls into rivers, estuaries and the sea, pipeline crossings and other obstructions in navigable waters.
Trinity House was able to put together a package that met the stringent requirements of South West Water in respect of protecting and preserving the environment, providing a medium term sustainable solution to the maintenance of aids both at sea and ashore, having a proven track record for maintaining aids to navigation that met the requirements of the UK Port Marine Safety Code, and through life cost efficiencies for South West Water.
The contract requires Trinity House to carry out periodic maintenance visits to all the aids to navigation, cleaning and inspecting the aids on site and providing a report to the water company. Trinity House will also respond to any failure of a navaid.
Trinity House has similar contracts with other water companies, other public utilities, and a number of port and harbour authorities.
