PIONEER POLAR STRUCTURES, JAMESWAY BUILDING DIVIDER

Abstract

A building divider was developed for the Jamesway polar shelter to separate two facilities located in the same building. The divider is constructed of tongue-and groove panels of wood framing and plywood. It can be placed across the building width under any arch rib. The panels are insulated for soundproofing. A door included with the divider can be placed in any of three positions. The divider was in-service tested at the NCEL experimental camp near McMurdo, Antarctica. It was concluded that it satisfies the requirements for separating spaces in a Jamesway and should be used as a standard accessory for the Jamesway.
