Spaciotempo - Goes Sub Zero
 A
temporary building from Spaciotempo will provide a storage and
workshop facility to support the construction of a new research
centre, at British Antarctic Survey’s, Halley Station in the
Antarctic.
Designed by Faber Maunsell and Hugh Broughton Architects, the new
£22 million station will be built by Matlock-based Morrison
Construction over the next three years, with work taking place
during the ‘summer’ months (December-March) to take advantage of
24-hour daylight. The 60-man construction team will work around the
clock shifts in temperatures ranging from zero to –25C.
The flat pack temporary facility from Spaciotempo will be the first
item unpacked and installed on arrival, to provide protection in the
extreme conditions, as the construction team go about the task
offloading approximately 15,000 cubic metres of cargo.
The aluminium framed facility is complete with steel reinforced UPVC
cavity walling, PVC roof and reinforced roller shutter doors to
withstand the high winds. The 200m2 temporary building will allow
work to be carried out away from the elements, and without
disruption should conditions worsen. The unit will also double as a
rest area and canteen for the engineers.
In addition to the building itself, Spaciotempo provided specialist
training to members of the construction team to allow them to erect
the unit on arrival in the Antarctic.
The new research complex, replacing the current Halley V Research
Station, is one of the most challenging construction projects on
Earth. The present station is located 10,000 miles from the UK and
400 miles from the South Pole on the Brunt Ice Shelf, which is 150m
thick and flows at a rate of 0.4 km per year northwest from Coats
Land towards the sea where, at irregular intervals, it calves off as
vast icebergs. Scientists predict a major calving event around 2010.
There is a growing risk that ice on which the existing Halley
Research Station sits could break off in the next decade. The new
station will allow long-running research on global change to
continue at the site where the ozone hole was discovered.
