The Works Oban South Pier is situated at NLB's Oban Base in Argyll and Bute.

The central section of the pier consists of a T-shape extension to the original pier added in the 1950's.

This provided a front edge of approximately 49m and allowed for berthing in deeper water.

This was then extended in the early 2000's to provide NLB with a larger operational surface area, extending the central section by approximately 10m and creating new eastern and western sections to the pier.

All seaward faces have timber fender piles, though only the central section is currently used for berthing.

Based upon visual assessment of the timber elements, it was concluded that a number of repairs are required to bring the structure up to a satisfactory standard.

The condition of the timbers is generally poorest at the lowest sections.

Repairs have been recommended for the most critical elements, in terms of the importance of their function and the severity of the defects.

These are detailed in Appendix A - Bill of Quantities and Appendix B - Inspection Report.

This tender will cover items detailed in the report under Option A.
