BUILDING MAGAZINE PROJECT OF THE YEAR

摘要

Described by Aecom as a "once in a lifetime project", the British Antarctic Survey Halley Ⅵ Research Station is the world's first fully relocatable, permanently manned Antarctic research station. Aecom says that the project required an intimate collaboration between the client, design team, main contractor and supply chain. The challenges involved extreme cold, a limited period of time when construction could take place, tight finances and strict environmental protocols. Built at a cost of about £26m, the project is now home to a team of polar scientists and their support team.
