TRANSNET national ports authority requires the rehabilitation of the n2 foreshore at the port of port elizabeth over a 15-month period. The works comprise dredging, removal of existing dolos and armour rock, placement of new rock layers and three-tonne concrete armour units (dolos), and construction of a toe trench to protect landside infrastructure from wave and storm damage. The contract is governed by nec3, and the most consequential bidder consideration is the need for specialised marine construction capability, including certified lifting equipment, drone and hydrographic survey capacity, and compliance with stringent concrete and rock quality specifications.
Closing: 23 November 2026 at 14:00; submission method not stated in the source.
CSD registration and a valid SARS tax clearance (TCS) or tax pin are required.
The works require dredging to a toe trench depth of -2.866 m MSL or refusal, and removal of existing 3-tonne dolos and armour rock, some underwater.
Three-tonne dolos concrete armour units are required; concrete must meet 40 MPa 28-day compressive strength, 4 MPa flexural strength, density ≥2400 kg/m3, and be cast in an on-site yard with curing per SANS 2001-CC1.
Rock gradings specified: armour rock 2t–4t, underlayer 100kg–500kg, filter layer 10kg–50kg; rock must meet particle density ≥2600 kg/m3, water absorption <2%, compressive strength >80 MPa, point load index ≥4.0 MPa, drop breakage index <5%.
All cranes and gantries must be tested and certified; cranes need load measuring devices and 3D hook location monitoring; operators must be trained, licensed, and qualified.
Mandatory method statements (including health, safety, environment, access, traffic, CAU production/placement, rock placement, dredging, quarry operations) must be submitted for Engineer acceptance before work starts.
Drone, hydrographic, underwater video, and as-built photographic surveys are required at defined stages; drone surveys need LiDAR and must be certified by a qualified land surveyor; hydrographic surveys must be repeated if a storm with significant wave height >2.2 m occurs.
Turbidity monitoring must start at least one month before dredging and continue in real time during operations; all tests must be done by an accredited laboratory.
Dredged material must be disposed of at the designated offshore disposal site; dredging tolerances: levels +0.0/-0.2 m, lines +1.0/-0.0 m.
