The brief

Nottingham City Council is seeking to appoint a suitably qualified and experienced contractor for a scheme covering the following elements: • RIBA Stage 4 design of a new rail gantry and associated pipework. • Construction of a new rail gantry and associated pipework. • Commissioning of new pipework and associated electrical connections. • Demolition and removal of the existing rail gantry.

Nottingham City Council operates a district heating system from its London Road Heat Station.

The system serves c5,000 households and commercial customers with heat and hot water, alongside a private wire with c200 domestic and business users.

The main energy supply to the heat station is from a high-pressure steam feed from the nearby Eastcroft Incinerator.

The steam is fed through a pipe which crosses the railway by a gantry to the east of Nottingham Station and west of London Road.

The Authority has been asked to move the existing gantry to align closer to London Road to allow a proposed development to take place on the site shown to the north of the railway.

A RIBA Stage Three design has been undertaken and planning permission for the scheme is being sought.

The contractor, or a member of their consortium for group bids, will need to be a Network Rail approved contractor and have experience in the construction and commissioning of high-pressure steam and other ancillary pipes and electrical connections.

The commissioning of the new pipes is targeted to take place during the summer shutdown in July 2027.
