正文(英文) | Engineering, design and consultancy company Ramboll has been re-appointed as Technical Advisors for British Antarctic Survey (BAS), successfully winning the next phase of work in a series of projects to improve and modernise Antarctic research stations and infrastructure. The contract is valued at between £40-50 million and secures their involvement for a further 10 years. As the sole supplier on the BAS framework, Ramboll will be providing a vast range of services, from project management and structural, geotechnical and MEP engineering, to buildings, energy, sustainability, fire and renewable consultancy. The team will also be managing third party services, including architecture, quantity surveying, and snow and wind modelling. As climate change poses the threat of a potential global 1.5°C temperature increase, sustainability is a key driver in the modernisation of all BAS facilities, with a target set for all buildings to be designed and operating at net-zero carbon. Given the extreme Antarctic conditions, where temperatures range from 5°C to -60°C, and the fact the continent is the coldest, driest, highest and windiest on the planet, a key challenge will be ensuring structures are both sustainable and useable in the world’s harshest climate. The next phase of work with BAS will include the second phase of the Rothera Modernisation programme, which includes a new marine facility, and accommodation block. An energy assessment will also take place, with the aim to reduce the station’s reliance on fossil fuels. Ramboll has previously been working on the BAS Rothera Research Station, which in December 2019 resumed construction work on the 74m long wharf in preparation to berth the RRS Sir David Attenborough. In addition to the continued work at the Rothera Research Station, Ramboll will commence a masterplan for the King Edward Point Research Station, as well as exploring further connected projects in both Antarctica and the UK.
