About

UK Shared Business Services Limited awarded a contract to Green Cooling Limited for the refurbishment of the Polar Sediment Core Facility at the British Antarctic Survey Cambridge site.

The project, phase 3 of the Polar Marine Aquarium project, involved replacing end-of-life refrigeration plant and cold room structures to ensure reliable storage of irreplaceable sediment core samples.

The scope included upgrading two cold rooms maintained at +4°C, laboratories for processing sediment cores, and storage areas.

The new system utilizes natural refrigerant cooling, specifically CO2-based technology, to improve energy efficiency, reduce carbon emissions, and eliminate HFCs.

The contract value was £398,539.66.
