Check out this behind-the-scenes showcase of GM&I's latest groundbreaking project: the McMurdo Docking Barge for the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, destined for Antarctica.
This new barge pier will replace the traditional ice piers that have struggled to cope with early melting, providing reliable, low-maintenance mooring for cargo ships in extreme conditions.
The journey to McMurdo Station is nothing short of remarkable – nearly 6,000 miles across the Pacific Ocean and Ross Sea to reach the largest research facility in Antarctica. Designed with a rake hull to ride on top of the sea ice, this barge is engineered to withstand the harshest environments on earth.
