TAE/IGY hut - During RSHRP Conservation
Following the creation of of a detailed conservation plan and with meticulous planning, the Antarctic Heritage Trust's specialist team of twelve worked more than 5,700 hours during the Antarctic Summer season of 2016-17 to restore the TAE/IGY hut in time for Scott Base's sixtieth anniversary celebrations in January 2017.
The following Summer the team reinstated the original flat roof design.
The major building conservation work included:
- removing the asbestos wall and ceiling linings;
- reconfiguring the cold porch to the original orientation;
- upgrading foundation timbers and hold-down cables;
- removing and reconstructing the partitions to the radio room and Hillary's room;
- repairing roof leaks and installing a new roof over the top of the original roof;
- repairing and reinstating nine chimney flues;
- painting the interior and exterior of the building.
Care was taken to retain and reinstate original building materials, and where essential modern material was chosen to be as close as possible to the original finish and appearance.
Explore the collections and images below to see the conservation of the TAE/IGY hut.
