I think B1M just managed to inspire a whole generation of new fabricators, builders, and construction specialists in a 15 minute video. just WOW
I packed my thermal undies and hard hat the minute the video finished. I’m currently standing in the dark on the side of the A20 trying to thumb a lift to the job site!!

#My feet are already cold
And plenty of other professionals. I'm a medical technologist in training and they certainly have a small medical facility on the site that needs to be staffed. Or if this specific site doesn't, other larger, more established sites certainly do.
the content on this channel is incredible.
It's utterly remarkable. Consistently some of the best documentary filmmaking and journalism being produced today.
I would love nothing more to work for qualifications to get the chance to work on one of these sites!
The production quality of these videos is amazing. I thought I was watching BBC Planet Earth for a second there!
Wow! Thank you so much! 👍👍
Agree...superb!
Thanks to viewers like you! (In the PBS voice)
just need a guy with an accent and you're good to go
No

Me: "The B1M has reached the peak of how good the material they have to show is."
The B1M: "Hold my penguin."
😂😂
My colleague was suffering from routine and repeating patterns in her life and looked for a new interest to pick up. She is now an avid B1M viewer and has made plans to travel to Norway, NYC and London after watching your videos (at work at times!)
You guys may have changed a bored mother's life for the better, she is now more driven and motivated...I can't tell what other influences there were obviously but ... I like to think you played a major role there !
As a civil engineering student, I love this channel!
We love our viewers more!! We'd be nothing without you guys 💙
This channel has been amazing for a long time. But this documentary realy stepped up another level.
Saqlain Siddiqui good luck!! Get that degree buddy!!!! 🤙🤙🤙🤙
When I was studying mechanical engineering and procrastinated by watching House or Suits I really wished there was a show that would motivate and inspire me to get back to the books. But now I’m watching B1M instead of finishing of that stage 2 report 😹
As an auto tech with no interest in construction, I love this channel 🤣
They just keep it so interesting
I consider myself privileged to have been invited to work there in 1996 as part of a team. We were building a laboratory block and living accommodation for the British Antarctic Survey scientists that are stationed there. It was absolutely breathtakingly amazing. It took 13 days to get to work from the UK by plane and ship! To see killer whales, Adele penguins and seals in their natural habitat was so special.We spent Christmas and new year there and although i was only there for 10 weeks the experience will stay with me forever. Keep up the good work :)
It's weird, I never expected excavators and other construction equipment to be on Antarctica, but it totally makes sense. This was a real eye-opener and another great video!
Thank you so much!! 👍💙
Americans use Tractors. now thats unexpected
@@provenxreaperx
Why?
Junkers in Tutus hauling stuff, runs on tracks.
@@provenxreaperx
Tractor means a lot of things in American English, from generic general purpose farming vehicles to the large wheeled vehicles that haul trailers also known as semis and yard goats. I asked why you said it was unexpected that Americans use tractors.
I worked down here for a year and a half. Came back this summer. Always loved the channel so it's crazy that Rothera has featured!
How's Raytheon doing?
@Jay Sanders most people who work that are scientists in one way or another.
@@DevinHeida
This isn't correct. I was a scientist, but the majority of people are support staff. They have cleaners, chefs, plumbers, chippies, cleaners. The lot. Look on the british antarctic website and you'll see the jobs advertised there. Check my instagram @marlyclarky and youll see some cool pics from there. Feel free to HMU with questions
2:17 you mean *Boaty McBoatface* ?
You beat me to it
Did they actually put the wrong name on the boat? Even though they committed to the Vote? Ridiculous, kind of like debating Brexit after the referendum.
So David attenborough is single handedly responsible for brexit.
777jones they named one of the submarines on the Sir David Attenborough, Boaty McBoatface. They decided against naming the ship as they thought it wouldn’t be appropriate for such an important science vessel
jasonvii precisely the argument against Brexit. The people voted for it, but the result is inappropriate in the eyes of the few. Boaty Mcboatface was the winner of the contest that was held. It would have brought millions more people’s attention to the project. Especially young people.
I envy the people working in such a breathtaking environment
Literally breathtaking, especially when it's much below zero 😅
F the cold
@@GamalKevin Alaskans and Canadians wearing just shorts in -14 degrees: "Hold my frozen coffee"
I had never thought about them having to clean all the equipment.
Great vid.
I've seen quite an effective demonstration that BAS have of the need for bio-security. In the small aquarium at their HQ in Cambridge they have one tank where every single thing living in it originated from a single bucket of sediment that they brought back Antarctica.
As much as I love David Attenborough, I love Boaty McBoatface more.
They asked the community for suggestions and then ignored the suggestions given. The riots will begin on Tuesday.
Isn't the submersible still called Boaty McBoatface.
@@ChocolateFrog They were originally asking for the name of the ship. They went with the third option for the ship. The fact that they named one of the support submarines the #1 choice a support submarine is a disgrace. Like I said: the riots will start on Tuesday.
Yes, the people have spoken! Why are they oppressing the majority?!?
This is only for us who are in the know
Now imagine the complexity of a construction project on Mars, where it take 6 months just to get there.
I think that would require most of the building materials being made there since logistics are so different.
Nice comment. Hopefully in the near future with vasimr engine it'll take only 23 days :)
It takes 6 months when the planets are aligned just right it takes something like 6 years to be in position to launch again. In short it takes a whole lot longer than 6 months.
@@brainwashingdetergent4128 No it takes about 2 years for the planets to be aligned right. So every 2 years you have a launch window where you can go from Earth to Mars, and that journey takes about 6 months. The only viable way of building anything their is using local materials, the Mars colony has to be near autarcic because imports from earth are so expensive and unpractical.
@@dekippiesip well 2 years isnt so bad.we could re supply mars every 2.5 years thats reasonable.
This channel always finds a way to keep me interested in construction and makes me think in new creative ways.
No channel on youtube deserves more viewers and recognition than the B1M, fantastic work
I'm again and again blown away by the quality of these videos. great stuff B1M
Thank you so much! ✊️✊️
Wow! Maybe next you can do about construction in space (the ISS) and how the logistics came into place.
wendover productions did one
Never thought about this subject before..BUT it was exceting to watch and discover , the planning, the logistics, the team cohesion 👍👍
This is without a doubt, the best heavy industrial/heavy industry construction channel on RUclips.
We need to appreciate what these people do on these other worldly places.
The US is also planning a big expansion of McMurdo Station which I think would be the largest construction project in Antartica ever.
The PDF master plan is online it would be great to see a video on that too.
Wow, a 10 year contract can either be a blessing or a curse. Hopefully they have some really good trade partners.
Yeah they have every military arm that signed the Antarctic Treaty
There go the RUclips expertise that know everything .... You don't want to offend them they will feel under attack with such comments.
it's Boaty McBoatface! @2:15
I am in the middle of teaching my class when the notifications popped up. I looooooooonged for the end of the lesson so I can watch this properly now (lunchtime). Awesome videos to accompany my risotto with seabass fish.
Thanks! Are you writing this while teaching your class?
The B1M it says lunchtime in brackets
Maybe next time just show them during class! :)
@@TheB1M I shall not answer without the presence of my lawyer. :-)
...Seriously, I absolutely love your videos and am addicted to them. Thank you for posting them so regularly.
The B1M egg salad
Absolutely amazing video. One of your best yet! Quality, writing, presentation, editing all as good as, or better than, NatGeo, Discovery, etc. Superb!! Thank you.
Ah wow! Thanks so much for the great feedback, and thanks for watching!! 👍
I have to say, you don’t get enough recognition for how thorough you are with your videos, it’s really amazing
The Brits are making a huge investment in their Antarctic infrastructure- this was a very interesting episode, thanks.😃👌👌👌👏👏👏
To think the Sir David Attenborough was voted to be called BoatyMcBoatFace! Would’ve been incredible
There's so many things here that I never considered that now seem kinda obvious.
Like checking for foriegn species in equipment.
I am awestruck at what a massive undertaking this project is. I tip my hat to all parties involved. The level of intelligence and ZERO margin for error that has gone into a project like this is nothing short of phenomenal. To be so isolated for so long whilst working under such harsh conditions is not something any one person could handle. I look forward to seeing the updates on this project and god bless you and all your families for the strength, nerve and ingenuity this takes!
This channel has gone from great to incredible. I never knew I had a love for construction and building until I found this. Keep it up.
My father was a senior executive at the HBG which is now BAM (except BAM is smaller). Good to see they are still going strong.
Yet another incredibly insightful and inspiring video from B1M. Deeply informative and thoroughly engaging. Thanks so much for posting.
At 11 minutes your security measures are by far the best that I've seen in a long f****** time kudos for you I absolutely appreciate the fact that you thought about preserving the natural environment the way that you have respect
Fantastic video as usual. Such brilliant footage and commentary really captures the story and feeling of what would otherwise be an isolated situation. Thank you for sharing and keep up your wonderful work.
This felt like an hour long documentary. Wow, I was really enthralled by this story. Thanks again for sharing so much!!
Keep it up guys. Keep it coming. Love your commitment
Wow, Kudos to the BAM, BAS and B1M. Great video! Keep it up. Much love from Nigeria.
Great video! I always look forward to Wednesday mornings and seeing what you guys have posted. And Fred's voice is equal to David Attenborough as far as narration. Well done!
Wow, thanks so much! This is why we love our viewers - dedication to the channel and generous comparisons! 👍👍
"continuity of the teams"...this is a remarkable logistical feat. this wharf project is almost like what it would be on off planet building in new planetary vistas: many platforms and protocols are being developed. take note.
Amazing as always B1M! Keep up the good work 👍
We had a lecture from a BAM project manager about this project, really cool to see this! Where can I sign up lol
As always, incredible video @The B1M! I can’t help thinking that this is the closest project we have to something that would be built on the Moon or Mars. Antartica is so remote, might as well be off world! Love and lots of respect to those who chose to name the ship Sir David Attenborough! Well deserved recognition to someone who has influence millions about loving and caring for the environment!
I really marvel at and have high regards for people who do these kind of dangerous but very important work! Thanks to them all and thanks to the B1M!
I’d like to work for b1m one day man
Yes for sure. They dont fuck around with these youtube videos.
This is brilliant.
All the drone shots and interviews make this an epic documentary. Thank you
as a practicing site engineer, I suddenly found my site constraints are not worthy to be mentioned
Beautiful photography, thoughtful interviews, excellent soundtrack - this was a brilliant video!
This is the best one you guys and gals have done. Well done B1M. I would have loved to be able to work on a project like this.
Wow, I didn't know it was located on a peninsula! Seems like an amazing and beautiful location.
This is infinitely more impressive than every multi-billion development currently happening! What a project!
I always find these videos incredibly well put together and fascinating! Thanks for teaching us about all these amazing things! :)
This is just such a masterpiece content, thank you to the whole B1M channel team!
In the beginning of the video i was surprised that BAM was there
Never knew it was international
BAM Ritchies and BAM Nuttall (both UK based) under BAM International.
What a superb video - insightful, interesting and excellent videography! Well done B1M!
Incredible.
Really nice piece. Well structured, nicely produced with beautiful shooting. A solid documentary all around. But I sure missed the actualities from the field footage. Hearing the natural sound from that powerful footage could have added depth to the storytelling, raising the effectiveness of the package all the more. Keep up the good work. The time and effort spent cobbling this together was well worth the results.
Quality content! Love watching new videos as soon as they are up :)
Who on earth are these 118 people who disliked the video? Could it be the contractors and consultants who did not win the tender to be part of the project!?
Flat earthers maybe 🤷♂️
@@h.szymanski NOPE! We like when the trut comes around. Is this science to you? To me it looks like mining... GoogleTerex Finlay 883+
And this is similar to what´s most likely is happening in Antarctica.... ruclips.net/video/15N9K3wXh0Y/видео.html
Tax payers pay the prize and the income goes to a few pockets... Thats how to run a great busines.
I came for the gunshow but left feeling enlightened and educated.. love B1M x
Bravo!!! the images in the first 30 seconds were simply breath taking! excellent video!
I love to get a job working on this project.
I'm a 28 year old welder at an Alaskan gold mine and this video made me want to quit my job, what a cool place to go work and live.
It is inspiring that facilities can be built in remote areas such as drill equipment, oil refineries, coal mines and weapons facilities.
going to antarctica is my life goal, thanks for the well done video!
The world is a wonderful and breathtaking place! Let's at least for one minute sit back and enjoy and appreciate this amazing blue planet! Let's not this destroy this beauty, our all home!
It’s amazing..... I can’t get planning permission to build a porch on my house but here in the most unspoilt part of the world is a massive construction site. Oh I forgot... to study how unspoilt it is, or was before they turned the place into a construction site.
During a Symposium of my study association, one of the BAM engineers who worked on the project and visited the build site during the first year of construction. It was quite impressive, to hear about the project from him.
So much respect to all those who work there!!!
This channel is so so so good. My favorite video so far!
I love this channel. Thank you for existing and the hard work you put into your videos. You are highly underrated youtubers and deserve more subscribers. Thank you for coming to my ted talk.
Wow amazing video .Antarctica is beauty full place i love Antarctic ocean .snow❄ mountain. This video awesome make more videos make more amazing construction site
Good to see a new wharf going in at Rothera, will be a great addition to a fantastic place to live and work. Good luck to all for the forthcoming season
I love your content. This is a super interesting project, thanks for producing this video!
"we're here for unobtanium, it's what keeps the whole operation running!"
I would love to see something about education (modern schools infraestructure), medical infraestructure and places to work like headquarters of big companies. Your content is amazing.
683,000 followers! Soon will be the much deserved B..1Million followers! Proud to be 1 of them to this superb channel👍
Extraordinary content B1M! More of this please!
Thank you so much! 👍
Very interesting. Hoping to see an update as work progresses. Thanks from Orlando
Prefabricate everything.
Building in Antarctica is too hard to do on-site.
Love this video love anything about Antarctica 🤣
Wow. im in construction, I drive a 6x6 bell 45ton. I never thought I'd see these types of trucks being used in a place like that. I agree with the narrator that'd be the project of a lifetime.
Not sure about extreme, this place actually seems pretty chill.
Did someone else notice the (what I believe to be) elephant seals at 4:37 down left in the frame?
Another excellent video mate! Makes me want to sign up! 😂
I am glad he made this video, we really need to look after the world better
Amazing scenery!! 💙🤍💙
Right first time - no snagging! Great video.
Yet again another amazing video! How did you manage to get the film? it's remarkable!
@B1M this video has taken your presentations to another level. Was it undertaken by yourself or is it using stock footage and interviews from somewhere else? because if its you guys i wish there was a way to nominate it for a RUclips award for production values, quality of content and information. Just next level video...well done all at the B1M.
How much more do we need to know before we do something about the damage we are doing ?
Eric Climate Change has shown us all one thing, our politicians are very good at kicking the can down the road.
@@joermnyc Look up 'The Younger Dryas' and find out about what climate change really looks like, you have no idea.
Scientists trying to study so called man made climate change using all the equipment they say causes it in the environment the most easily affected by it, seems ironic to me.
We are doing something about it. Politicians are taking our money for this very problem. What else do you want us to do?
Always wondered how they really did it. Hardcore engineering. I guess you can be proud participating in these projects.
Instructif. Concis. Précis. Bravo.
That cute albino seal at 13:39 staring at the camera like "what are you looking at"!
God bless all of the team members on this project...
This is amazing their approach to the human needs and that they need to be happy and well stimulated!
This video was outstanding guys great job 👌💙
Fred Mills your channel just did it once more-great documentary ,brief and to the point-the environment is truly extreme and worse still far from civilization as we know it yet even inspiring is how the team took extreme measures to keep invasive species from entering Antarctica .Construction is a great career but the way it overcomes hardships to beat deadlines , keep customers and have a mind for the environment shows how much the field is becoming conscious by the day in the atmosphere it is operating-great visionary team leaders will take this industry without making it boring.
Awesome. I worked on this project and developed a lot of the BIM strategy for it.
👏👏👏
Awesome video, fantastic Construction project. More please!
