3. Introduction
3.1. Background
The Solomon Islands Electricity Authority (SIEA) is currently undertaking a major upgrade of the facilities at Lungga Power Station in Honiara. These works include: The construction of a new power station; installation of a new high voltage transformer and large capacity water tank for firefighting purposes. It has been identified that the construction of a retaining wall is also required to maintain a desired ground level for the new power station facility.

4. Scope of Work
4.1. Basis of Design
The proposed retaining wall site is included in Appendix A of this specification.
The scope includes the design of an approved retaining wall; supply of materials; demolition and re-erection of fence; installing bollards; constructing retaining wall and drainage; and supply materials, drawings and survey details.The purpose of this retaining wall is to maintain a consistent finished level outside the east side of the new power house. The level is necessary to have enough access space to work on the new power house building and for the construction of some structures which are to be attached to the new power house. The length of the retaining wall is around 95 metres (to be confirmed by the Tenderer before submission of the tender response). The wall will be built just inside and along the boundary as shown below and in Appendix D. The Boundary line runs along the coordinates (612830.35, 8956847.27) to (612817.23, 8956941.96).
The figure above shows the proposed site for the retaining wall and the fence to be removed.
