The British Antarctic Survey (BAS) has offered a behind-the-scenes look at the construction of two new wharfs built by main contractor BAM at two separate locations in the Antarctic.
BAM, supported by Sweco and technical advisor Ramboll, constructed a new £40m wharf at Rothera Research Station, the largest Antarctic facility for the BAS.
The 74m wharf was built to moor the new polar ship, the RSS Sir David Attenborough. It has been built over 18 months during the Antarctic summers (November to May), with a 50-strong team completing the work in the six-month construction season in 2020.
