II.2.4)
Description of the procurement
TII has a requirement to develop a geological and geotechnical model of the Calp Limestone within a defined area of Dublin city centre. Calp Limestone is of Carboniferous Age and forms the bedrock within Dublin city centre. Its characteristics are poorly understood due to the thick cover of boulder clay and lack of outcrop.
To develop the geological and geotechnical model, use should be made of all the available data from the ground investigations carried out for all the proposed underground railway schemes including inspection of cores, together with GI data from other projects within the study area and supplementary non-invasive investigations such as geophysics, if deemed necessary.
It is envisaged that the geological and geotechnical model of the Calp Limestone will comprise its composition, depth of weathering, structure (both local and regional trends) and strength. Any features such as deep weathering and fracture zones that could be deleterious to underground construction should be highlighted. Maps and sections of the Calp in the city centre shall be produced.
