How do you build a new wharf at the end of the earth? Watch this video describe the construction and engineering challenges of building a new £40 million wharf at Rothera Research Station - the largest Antarctic facility for British Antarctic Survey.
The new wharf was built to moor the new polar ship for Great Britain, the RRS Sir David Attenborough.
A specialist team of engineers, divers, builders and project managers built the 74 metre wharf over 18 months through during the Antarctic summers (November to May). The 50-strong team from construction partners and designers of the wharf, BAM, with the support of Sweco and technical advisors, Ramboll, completed a second, six-month construction season in 2020. Turner & Townsend also provided cost management for the project.
