Official summary
What is being procured?
The procurement is for commercial gravimetry instruments to support the establishment of a Quantum Gravimetry Laboratory at University College Cork. The required instruments include: 1) A portable field relative gravimeter for high-precision gravity measurements, microgravity surveys, underground engineering applications, geotechnical and environmental investigations, instrument comparison, teaching, and research training. 2) A vertical gravity gradient tripod compatible with the field gravimeter, to enable gravity gradient measurements. This is particularly useful in tunnels, underground spaces, and shallow anomaly investigations where the regional gravity field is difficult to assess.
