Abstrakt:

This paper describes the design and construction works of the new wharves in Rothera in the Antarctic Peninsula and in the Sub-Antarctic island of South Georgia, two exceptionally isolated and environmentally protected locations with extreme climate conditions. Construction in such pristine locations requires special measures and an integrated design, preparation and construction approach. Minimum impact is achieved by re-using existing materials and reducing the amount of new materials required. Strict biosecurity and environmental monitoring has been in place. Design choices were focused on limiting the extent of the works on site by pre-fabrication of the structural elements in Europe, which also ensures the quality standards can be achieved. Low maintenance and durability are also keys aspects to the design choices.
