Brief Description (Abstract):
Dakshin Gangotri (DG), the first Indian Antarctic Station was decommissioned and converted into a supply base during February 1990. Since regular wintering convoys would visit the station for ferrying the fuel and other cargo, it was envisaged to construct a 'Transit Accommodation' for eight personnel, within the existing C&N Hangar at DG. This hangar, constructed during the Fourth Indian Expedition in 1984, to serve as a vehicle shelter and completely buried in the snow at present, is a well designed unit equipped with all communication facilities.
Status: Completed
Purpose: The original plan was to construct living accommodation inside the hangar and service complex outside the hangar. There were two containerised generators which were to be connected to the service complex. The service complex itself consisted of bath and toilet module, fuel storage module and generator passage unit. A link block between hangar and service complex was also planned. Due to site conditions and availability of only one generator, the original layout was slightly modified. In revised layout the link block was directly connected to the entrance. The generator was detached to avoid snow accumulation. The crawl duct was made straight so as to leave the effluent at about 20 away from the existing structure.
