CEFAS20-22 Weymouth Sea Water Pipe (Now closing 14/12/2020 10am)

The laboratories at CEFAS rely on a constant supply of seawater for their work. The existing intake and pumping system have provided this facility over many years being refurbished and improved at various stages. It continues to provide this service, but various elements are beyond their effective working life. Works are required to extend the life of the intake pipe as well as the storage tanks located under the car park of the CEFAS laboratories.
