Electrical testers head for Antarctica
Published: November 2007
Two staff of Inviron are escaping the depth of the British winter for a project in the Southern Hemisphere — at the Rothera Research Station in Antarctica. Asa Downing and Jason Faulkner of the building-system team at Ipswich will be carrying out the 5-yearly test and inspection of all fixed electrical systems at Rothera. They are due to return in February 2008. Asa, 24, and Jason, 21, are due to leave in late November and have attended a familiarisation course with other members of the British Antarctic Survey. The equipment needed for the project has already been despatched. Jason says, ‘I am really looking forward to visiting the Antarctic. To work in an environment surrounded by icebergs, penguins and seals is a fantastic opportunity. Asa adds, ‘There’s a huge difference between the Antarctic and our current working environment, but I’m confident that Jason and I will complete this contract to the highest standard.’
