Behind the Unique Challenges of Construction in the Antarctic


Listen Later

Construction often involves complex logistical planning and coordination, but what happens when you add building in one of the harshest environments on earth to the mix? 

In this episode, Eric sits down with David Brand, the Senior Project Manager from the British Antarctic Survey, and Neil Irving, Digital Project Solutions Business Partner at BAM Nuttall, to talk about their work on the British Antarctic Survey Project, how they overcome their project’s unique challenges, and what they’ve learned so far.  

We discuss: 

  • How the project brings together digital construction and sustainability while enabling more advanced scientific research in the future 
  • Why all project stakeholders need to collaborate thoroughly to ensure no details are missed 
  • How prefabrication enables construction in Antarctica’s harsh climate 
  • How they are using digital tools to enable successful project management 
  • How the onsite team builds community and fosters connection  

Digital Builder is hosted by Eric Thomas of Autodesk.
