The concept was to use a pre-existing 8m x 3m x 2.5m swimming pool mould to create a double skinned fiberglass enclosure, insulated with100mm urethane foam. This was then to be fixed to a fiberglass floor creating a complete weather tight enclosure that could be fitted with doors, windows, kitchen, bathroom, bunks, seating etc. The final stage is to then attach the completed module to a tested and proven German designed steel sled. And then drag it 2500kms to service and resupply various research facilities scattered across the ice shelf!<\/p>\n<p>Key requirements for the fiberglass living module:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Designed to handle 200kph winds, dynamic loads of rough terrain, slopes, and a sled skid dropping into a crevasse.<\/li>\n<li>Amenities for 6 people to live for 3+ months at a time.<\/li>\n<li>Thermal considerations including: thermal breaks in attachment design, thermal mass, and large temperature fluctuations.<\/li>\n<li>Careful consideration of final build cost to ensure project viability.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div id=\"ultimate-heading-57716a633c903b428\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-57716a633c903b428 uvc-729  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-57716a633c903b428 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#0F204B;margin-bottom:30px;\">Solution<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]<a href=\"http:\/\/www.motovated.co.nz\">Motovated\u2019s<\/a> first task was to design and analyze the structure against a series of load cases, and the second task was to design the interior layout of the module.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A multi-laminate shell, solid, and beam element model was harmoniously combined into one FEA model to design and analyse the structure.<\/li>\n<li>Due to thermal mass considerations, fiberglass pultrusions were designed and analysed using orthotropic material properties to design the floors embedded beam structure.<\/li>\n<li>We then established composite factors of safety for all of the load cases for all higher stress junctions of the structure.<\/li>\n<li>The resulting R value for the structure was such that only around 2kw of heating will keep the inside at 20\u00b0C even if the outside weather is at &#8211; 60\u00b0C!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Once the outer structure and the floor were designed, we worked closely with AntNZ to design the interior layout. We ensured the layout of the module was going to tick as many living requirement boxes as possible.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>We modelled, discussed, and specified methods to construct and orientate the associated amenities. These included; wet entrance area, bathroom, kitchen, seating, living, sleeping, radio communications area, and storage facilities.<\/li>\n<li>We researched and specified various services such as diesel air and water heating, power generation and storage, lighting, cooking, frozen food storage, potable water generation and grey water discharge.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text]<div class=\"ult-spacer spacer-6a633c903b439\" data-id=\"6a633c903b439\" data-height=\"20\" data-height-mobile=\"20\" data-height-tab=\"20\" data-height-tab-portrait=\"\" data-height-mobile-landscape=\"\" style=\"clear:both;display:block;\"><\/div><div id=\"ultimate-heading-4266a633c903b444\" class=\"uvc-heading ult-adjust-bottom-margin ultimate-heading-4266a633c903b444 uvc-5655  uvc-heading-default-font-sizes\" data-hspacer=\"no_spacer\"  data-halign=\"left\" style=\"text-align:left\"><div class=\"uvc-heading-spacer no_spacer\" style=\"top\"><\/div><div class=\"uvc-main-heading ult-responsive\"  data-ultimate-target='.uvc-heading.ultimate-heading-4266a633c903b444 h3'  data-responsive-json-new='{\"font-size\":\"\",\"line-height\":\"\"}' ><h3 style=\"font-weight:bold;color:#0F204B;margin-bottom:30px;\">Results<\/h3><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=&#8221;&#8221;]Working alongside the experienced individuals from AntNZ &amp; The Composite Group created a transparent design environment.
