PPM is proud to have played a key role in the construction of the Antarctica Pier at Palmer Station, a vital infrastructure project for the National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Antarctic Program (USAP). This ambitious project required innovative engineering and construction techniques to support year-round operations at one of the most remote and environmentally sensitive locations on Earth.
The Antarctica Pier at Palmer Station involved the design and construction of a new pier to facilitate the safe and efficient unloading of cargo, scientific equipment, and personnel. The pier is integral to supporting ongoing research and logistical operations on the Antarctic Peninsula.
The completed Antarctica Pier at Palmer Station is not just a critical piece of infrastructure—it is a symbol of Pacific Pile & Marine’s commitment to overcoming adversity and supporting scientific research in some of the world’s most challenging environments. The pier will serve as a crucial hub for future expeditions and research, supporting ongoing scientific efforts to better understand global climate change, marine ecosystems, and polar environments.
