II.1.4)Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
The National Structural Integrity Research Centre (NSIRC) is a new industrially led joint initiative between TWI, lead academic partner Brunel University, alongside the University of Manchester, the University of Cambridge and a number of leading industrial partners. The centre will focus on academic research and teaching at post graduate level in the field of structural integrity and is targeted at providing the next generation of qualified staff to support safe specification, development, operation and management of process equipment and infrastructure across all major industry sectors.
The initiative is funded by industry and by grants from the Regional Growth Fund (RGF) and Higher Education Funding Council for England (HEFCE). Funding is available in the period up to 31.3.2015 to assist in establishing a new facility at the TWI site in Abington, Cambridge and to purchase equipment to be used in the centre. All equipment must be accepted on the Abington site by the end of December 2014 at the latest.
A key driver for this initiative is the growth of the TWI business through new building development and university placements that will be available early 2015. The existing telephony systems and associated network infrastructure within the TWI Granta Park site is aging and expansion into the new facilities will become problematic if not strengthened to provide a more robust system overall.
There will be three new large buildings at Granta Park. These buildings are in addition to two large buildings currently in place, plus other smaller areas of office space that will be redeployed. These buildings will provide for a mix of operational needs, including office, university, research, training, conference, hospitality and industrial services.
