The reconstruction of Rothera Wharf for the British Antarctic Survey (BAS) is to accommodate the RRS Sir David Attenborough vessel and reduce manual handling cargo loading\/unloading time during station relief to allow the ship to spend more time on research cruises.<\/p>

Contractor BAM International developed a construction system of prefabricated steel frames for wharf construction on site in 2 Antarctic summer working windows. In conjunction with BAM, Proserve developed a partially shuttered grout bag system to overcome the tolerances of the sloping blasted rock bed and form insitu concrete foundation bearings to the frame piles.<\/p>

The grout bag bearings were meticulously developed and trialled in a range of circumstances before manufacture and transporting the grout bag bearings to Antarctica as modifications would not be possible within the construction window. All 30 pile bases were successfully formed.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
