Denver Federal Center Ice Core Relocation Services

Relocation services of irreplaceable Ice Cores for the National Science Foundation (NSF) from it's legacy faciity to its newly constructed facility both located at the Denver Federal Center in Lakewood, CO. The facility's most important responsibility is for the safe and secure storage and curation of ice cores collected primarily by NSF-sponsored projects. The facility also allows scientists to examine ice cores without having to travel to remote field sites. The main archive freezer is 55,000 cubic feet in size and is held at a temperature of -36°C. A second room for examination of ice cores, held at -24°C, is 12,000 cubic feet in size and is contiguous with the archive area. NSF-ICF also maintains space outside the freezer for material fabrication, storage, changing areas, offices, and visiting scientist workspace. The relocation services requested will require the resposible firm and it's personnel to work in these extreme temperatures while relocated the ice cores without risk of damaging any of the cores being moved.
