This procurement will contribute to the delivery of Antarctica New Zealand’s Long-Term Science
(LTS) Relocation Project, which is a critical sub project of the Scott Base Redevelopment Project.

The site to the west of Scott Base currently hosts a number of Long-Term Science (LTS)
experiments which collect year-round data. Some experiments have continued uninterrupted since
1957, with data sets that are considered nationally and internationally significant.

Comprehensive stakeholder engagement with the Antarctic science community identified that
some experiments would be impacted by proposed SBR project activities. One of these
experiments is the Geomagnetic Observatory which is operated by Geological and Nuclear
Sciences (GNS). The experiment, which measures fluctuations in the earth’s magnetic field, is
contained within two separate wooden hut buildings. Data collection began in 1957 when the
experiment was established by Sir Edmund Hillary and his team.

These buildings have outlived their intended design life and are due for replacement. We wish to
install two new geomagnetic huts in a nearby location, unaffected by the construction, and allow
both observatories to run in parallel for a period of one year. This will ensure that we achieve a
successful overlap and correlation of the data before retiring the existing buildings.

Antarctica New Zealand is seeking a Respondent to manufacture these two new buildings in
accordance with our requirements.
