COMMERCIAL PROJECT

Nissen Hut – Antarctic

The British Antarctic Survey commissioned SIPCO to design and manufacture a replacement Nissen Hut

After being approached by the British Antarctic Survey, SIPCO were commissioned to design and manufacture a replacement Nissen Hut to stand on the exact spot were the initial building had stood over 50 years ago.

The project involved 150mm SIP panels, cut to 250mm strips and fitted to curved frames, shipped to the Antarctic. SIPs were used for the roof, internal partitions and gable ends. This was a particuarly challenging project which further proves the adaptability of SIP Construction.
