Scott Base Redevelopment: Building in Extremes
October 15 @ 4:00 pm - 6:30 pm
NZ$80.50
What does it take to design and deliver a major infrastructure project in one of the world’s most remote and challenging environments?
Join us for a behind-the-scenes look at the Scott Base Redevelopment – a landmark project transforming New Zealand’s Antarctic research station into a modern, resilient facility designed to support science and Antarctic operations for decades to come.
Following a comprehensive reset, the project has now entered its delivery phase, with construction being delivered by LT McGuinness. The redevelopment will include new accommodation and communal facilities, enhanced science and operational spaces, upgraded infrastructure, and significant renewable energy improvements.
Hear from three key members of the project team:
-
Adam Feeley, Antarctica New Zealand – An overview of the project, its reset, scope and programme.
-
Earl Rutherford, Jasmax – Insights into designing for Antarctica’s extreme environment and the complexities of BIM coordination.
-
James McLean, LT McGuinness – A contractor’s perspective on the challenges of construction in Antarctica, including logistics and the limited annual construction window.
From design to delivery, discover what it takes to build at the bottom of the world.
Don’t miss this unique opportunity to hear directly from the team bringing one of New Zealand’s most extraordinary infrastructure projects to life.
This event is kindly hosted by Bell Gully, with support from Resene.
