## Description
This procurement is for the design and construction of Scapa Deep Water Quay a new multi-use facility on the coastline of Mainland Orkney between Kirkwall and Holm, offering more than 600m of quayside and water depth of between 15m and 20m below Chart Datum: not only contributing to the need for laydown but also providing deep water access and berths that can accommodate the larger vessels coming on stream in the offshore wind industry.
The facility is located on the east side of Scapa Flow, one of the largest natural deep water harbours in Northern Europe encompassing 125 square miles of sheltered water, a unique area that lends itself to wet storage, which is becoming a key requirement for floating turbine integration.
