Presented by Eleni Antoniades, Project Environmental Lead – Aviation and Infrastructure
About this Webinar
Delivering environmental and water management during construction and operation of infrastructure projects can be challenging. Emerging environmental legislation, environmental incidents, and delivery deadlines all add to the technical challenges.
What happens when a project is being delivered in the interior of Antarctica? What makes working in Antarctica so unique and different to anywhere else in the world?
This webinar will provide an insight into what makes environmental and water management in the interior of Antarctica so challenging and unique. The physical environment is unlike anywhere else, with pristine air and ice quality. There is also a unique legislative framework set by the Antarctic Protocol, and a complete absence of utilities. You are operating off-grid in every sense.
