The Coal Authority invites you to tender for up to five mine water monitoring boreholes in the East Gateshead area (Baltic Quarter), NE England. The boreholes will be drilled by the Coal Authority (by the appointed contractor) on land within the ownership of Gateshead Council. This is to support the development of a "living lab" that will help provide further understanding on the nature of and potential for interactions (thermal and hydrogeological) between two operational mine water heat projects located within the Walker mining block in the Tyne and Wear region. The boreholes that make up the Living Lab will target the High Main and Hutton workings and we are seeking an indicative cost to drill to each horizon. Each borehole will be installed with a number of monitoring sensors in order to collect data on water levels and temperatures, as well as providing access for water samples to be taken. Based on current information, the mine water level (piezometric head) is expected to be approximately 20-25 mbgl. A study of mining information confirmed mine workings present under the site that are thought appropriate for mine water monitoring. This Scope is for the drilling of five monitoring boreholes required to intercept these mine workings on the High Main and Hutton Seams at ca. 50 and 150 mbgl respectively. This tender is being operated through the Coal Authority procurement portal - InBye - see the attached guidance for how to access the tender documents A supervised site visit is being undertaken on 10 August 2022 at 1100hrs - please contact peterkobryn@coal.gov.uk if you wish to register to attend

The Coal Authority invites you to tender for the Water and Abandoned Metal Mines (WAMM) programme in partnership with the Environment Agency and Defra, the Coal Authority are looking at ways of monitoring and reducing sediment from historic mining, which is rich in lead, cadmium and zinc, from polluting the water courses which is causing them to fail Environmental Quality Standards (EQS). Captured sediment is retained behind in river structures such as checkweirs, with the aim of reducing downstream river pollution. Monitoring of these checkweirs is required to ensure a level is maintained to allow them to work to the best of their capability. To continue the monitoring that has been carried out over the past three to four years we are looking to source a supplier to provide long term monitoring to collate data relating to the accumulation of metal rich sediment including chemical analysis of the sediment, volume and particle sizing and impact of any scour of river banks in accordance with the detailed requirements within the scope The initial works will focus on three established checkweirs but may be expanded with the construction of new structures elsewhere in England.

The Coal Authority (Client) was established by Parliament to undertake specific statutory duties, set out in the Coal Industry Act 1994, associated with licensing coal mining operations; managing property and the historic legacy arising from the ownership of the coal reserves and underground workings; settling subsidence damage claims not falling on coal mine operators and providing access to coal mining information. The Coal Authority has a legal duty under the Coal Mining Subsidence Act 1991, to repair properties damaged by coal mining subsidence in the five coalfield regions. The works are funded by grant in aid from central government, in order that the Coal Authority can discharge its statutory duty. The Coal Authority employs over 250, based mainly at the head office in Mansfield with some field staff remotely based in order to enable a fast response to incidents in the coal mining areas. The Coal Authority is funded by grant in aid from the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS). The Coal Authority invites you to tender for the drilling of a mine water monitoring borehole to assess rising mine water on the surrounding environment at Blidworth. A review of the mine water block by the Coal Authority in 2020 highlighted the potential for elevated mine water levels at Blidworth. Elevated mine water levels could pose a risk to the drinking water aquifers that overlie the mine workings. Therefore, the Coal Authority intend to construct a borehole to intersect flooded underground workings at Blidworth Colliery. The borehole is to allow monitoring of mine water levels that are thought to be representative of the area.
