Alengthy journey of the three Metso Lokotrack® crushing and
screening plants from Finland to Antarctica has started. The
three plants that have been retrofitted for extreme cold are on
their way for the reconstruction of the U.S. National Science
Foundation's (NSF) McMurdo research station in extremely cold and
freezing Antarctica region. So equipped is the equipment that it can
crush normally in temperatures as low as -40 °C.
The McMurdo Station is located on an island in the Ross Sea and is
the U.S. Antarctic Program's logistics hub and the largest of the three
stations that the U.S. operates in Antarctica. McMurdo is being rebuilt
under the Antarctic Infrastructure and Modernization for Science
(AIMS) project, a long-range initiative to upgrade the station to make
it logistically and energy efficient.
Metso' equipment will be used for three years in crushing the ground
materials for the new buildings. All in all, this will amount to more
than 126,000 cubic meters of aggregates.
In the extreme conditions of Antarctica, the equipment can only be
used during the Southern Hemisphere summer, which lasts from
October to April. The hard basalt to be crushed will come from an
area near the station.
