Description

Survey, Design & Installation of Ship Hall

Building 1/122 Ship Hall B was built in 2003. The north elevation has a large opening
(circa 47.1 m x 32.3 m) completed by two vertical lift fabric doors, separated by a
removeable central mullion. Both doors and mullion are in a poor material condition
after 20 years, and the right-hand door (viewed from external) was damaged during a
storm in November 2024. The aim of this project is to replace the doors and associated
equipment.

The contractor shall quote for two options:
(a) A wall to close the opening.
(b) A door system to fill the opening but also allow unobstructed access into
Ship Hall B when open.
The project will be delivered in three work packages:
- Work Package 1: Surveys and RIBA 3 Design
- Work Package 2: Delivery of RIBA 4 Technical Design
- Work Package 3: Installation, Commissioning and Handover
The contractor shall develop a fully detailed and construction-ready design package that
includes technical drawings, installation methodologies, and a comprehensive compliance
plan to ensure all regulatory requirements are met. The design shall demonstrate a clear
path for commissioning, testing, and integration with other systems.
