Iarnród Éireann is seeking to engage a suitably qualified and experienced consultant and laboratory to undertake soil sampling of materials generated as part of railway maintenance activities. On an on-going basis, Iarnród Éireann undertakes lineside maintenance activities to ensure the profile and track quality is maintained within thresholds. This results in the excavation of life expired ballast and soil. This material is hauled from trackside and temporarily stockpiled at various compounds and depots situated alongside the track across the railway network (i.e. nationwide). The temporary stockpiling is to allow for waste classification and to inform on the material recovery/recycling/disposal options.
