Description

NTS is currently working on the development of a new transport package, the SWTC-255. This package is a large cuboid transport package measuring 2.35m (h) 2.62 (w) x 2.62m (d), weighing approximately 65 tonnes. The body and the lid are to be 255mm thick. This is to be cast from CA6NM, a martensitic stainless steel. There is very little impact/energy absorbing material on the outside.
As part of the initial design and testing phase of the project, NTS are seeking to identify and partner with a suitable facility to complete a full scale SSR-6 compliant drop test.
This Request for Information seeks to understand the capability of the market for undertaking a full scale SSR-6 compliant drop test. Responses received to this RFI will be used to inform NTS' understanding of the market and allow them to plan the future opportunity allowing sufficient time to meet project deadlines.
