Description

TENDER FOR THE SUPPLY AND INSTALLATION OF A GRAVITY GRADIOMETER FOR UNDERGROUND SURVEYING - UNIVERSITY OF BIRMINGHAM.

REFERENCE: SC7401/19

This project is funded by the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council (EPSRC) and the procurement is dependent on the final funding agreement.

The University of Birmingham invites tenders for supply and installation of a transportable gravity gradiometer for the detection of underground targets such as buried infrastructure (culverts, sewers, tunnels), mineshafts or voids. This will be used to act as a characterisation tool for the UKCRIC National Buried Infrastructure Facility, to characterise test sites in the field for the Geophysics project within the Quantum Technology Hub in Sensors and Timing, and to provide currently unavailable gravity gradiometry data to the geophysics community. Moreover, the gradiometer and survey data will be continuously used for demonstration to end-users throughout the research programme, creating early market pull for the sensors coming being developed in the Hub.

Overall budget for this item is up to £1,166,666.66 + VAT, delivery to the NBIF, training and manuals and warranties over the length of the hub grant.
