The maintenance activities are broken down into ‘scheme’ and ‘cyclic maintenance’. ‘Scheme’ represents those works that will be required over the next 5 years, whilst ‘cyclic maintenance’ represents those works which may be required over the same timeframe. Inspections will also be carried out to identify the degree of maintenance activity required. Following review of detailed bathymetric data obtained in August 2018, BEAR Scotland now anticipate that scour repairs at Kessock Bridge are unlikely to be required within the next 5 five years; hence, this activity is considered cyclic maintenance. The activities encompass the following: Schemes • Fender replacement; • Superstructure painting and • Cable stay painting. Cyclic maintenance • Scour repairs; • Drainage cleaning; • Bird guano removal; • Structural bolt and weld renewal; • Mass damper re-tuning; • Pendel bearing inspection; • Cleaning and pressure washing superstructure • Cable stay re-tensioning; • Minor bridge maintenance.
