Realisation of a vertical research borehole to a depth of 250 meters with a triple core barrel
The tender concerns the realisation of a vertical borehole to a depth of 250 m using a triple core barrel. The borehole is to be used for geophysical, geomechanical, and hydrogeological investigations, and for obtaining undisturbed, high-quality samples of relevant geological units for laboratory analyses. The contract is open and focused on a work assignment. The organisation is Stichting NWO-I/Nikhef, a research institution focusing on natural science and physics. The CPV code is not specified, but the works fall under the categories of geotechnics, geology, and research infrastructure. The contracting authority expects a technically detailed proposal, including drilling techniques, safety measures, quality control, and a schedule. The bid must comply with the requirements for an open procedure and must take into account the laws and regulations regarding drilling activities in the Netherlands.
