01What is being requested
The work concerns the replacement of the Oxena Brids in Hempens-Teerns. The assignment includes, among other things, the demolition of existing wood and steel structures, the installation of new foundation piles, sheet piling, concrete abutments and prefab bridge deck sections, including additional works.
The Oxena Brids swing bridge in the Skoalledyk at Hempens-Teerns has reached the end of its service life and must be replaced, excluding the pivot point foundation and the eastern abutment. In the project, the bridge must be connected to the Central Remote Control of the Province of Fryslan (It Swettehûs). The scope also includes part of the sheet piling replacement along the Skoalledyk.

03Strategic insight
Ensure timely submission of the engineering planning within 20 working days after award. Pay close attention to the nitrogen calculation and the obligation to use sustainable fuel to avoid penalties. Take into account the strict phasing, whereby the temporary bicycle bridge must be operational before the current bridge is closed.
