Signy Research Station Modernisation
Modernising the UK’s summer-only Antarctic research station
Graham Nightingale
Information Manager
My career at BAS started in June 2015 within the Estates team.
In June 2016 I was appointed as Project Management Officer within the BAS Project Management Office which included working with a wide range of multi-disciplinary stakeholders to deliver a varied programme of works for projects associated with the RRS Sir David Attenborough.
Since June 2020 I have been the AIMP Information Manager which involves managing information in support of the projects delivered under the NERC/BAS Antarctic Infrastructure Modernisation Programme (AIMP). Projects include the acquisition of a new long-range transport aircraft, hangar and runway enhancements which are needed to support it, and the trial and scale-up of renewable energy generation.
Information Management is fundamental to the implementation of a digital approach to building design, delivery and management alongside our Technical Advisor Ramboll and Construction Partner BAM-Sweco.
The AIMP projects are part of a Government capital investment for the development of sustainable and efficient infrastructure.
