Hugh Broughton Architects wins more work on continent following job at British baseHugh Broughton Architects has been appointed to upgrade an Australian research base in Antarctica. The renewal program for Davis Station is part of a wider initiative by the Australian government to modernise its research sites on the remote continent over the next decade. The Australian Antarctic Division’s (AAD) project team for the scheme at Davis Station also includes Mott MacDonald, Bouygues Construction and Stantec. The base’s water production systems will also be replaced, outdated infrastructure will be decommissioned and its site-wide services will be overhauled. It is also the only Australian station without a natural freshwater source, relying on reverse osmosis and shipped water, which limits supply during winter and the station’s number of residents.
