Description

The Langport River Project

LOT 1 - Riverside Pontoons - Specification for Tender

Background Information

At Langport, the River Parrett is in its 'mature stage', meandering through a flat wetland landscape - the Somerset Levels. Shortly before reaching Langport it is joined by its tributaries, the Rivers Yeo and Isle, together drain an area of over 750 km sq.

The river, at Langport, is considered to be non-tidal but opinions on this vary. Nonetheless, the river experiences significant rise and fall some of which are generated through local flood management and others through the volume of rainfall upstream. The area can experience variation of water levels at any time of the year.

The Product and Materials: 6m x 2m pontoon, recycled plastic with hand rails to the shore edge, toe rails to the front and sides, a drop down emergency ladder, security anchor, 6m x 1.5m gangway and either a pile mooring or a stiff arm mooring - Cocklemoor Point B (ST 41922 26577) and Blackbridge car park Point H (ST 42456 26303).
