Planet Hallam
Planet Hallam is an icy planet with a thin cold atmosphere. Mineral resource deposits had since been discovered on the surface, but for the longest time neither Zoners nor Liberty companies showed interest in establishing a mining colony. Bristol Constructions & Manufacturing has since built Cleveland Station as a shuttle port and distribution station in orbit of the planet.
Planning for mining on the planet's surface started in the first half of 827 with contacts to Deep Space Engineering(DSE). With the companies focus on establishing a foothold in the Bering system with Bristol Depot the project would stay in the planning stages for nearly a year. In early 828, Bristol Construction's finally had the resources to spare and with the shuttle port on Cleveland Station, materials and people were ferried to a small base camp on the equator of the frozen world.

While the initial buildings and supplies were delivered by the DSE, Bristol Constructions did plenty of the constructions on their own. With the lack of expertise in planetside buildings, progress has been slow. But their usual type of sturdy space stations served a good use on the cold world. The basic installation is planned to eventually grow into a small mining colony with full basic amenities provided. At the current time the main work planetside is being done surveying resource deposits closer.
Issues
With cold and unforgiving terrain, the young Bristol Constructions has many challenges to overcome until the colony will yield resources. With the long distance to supplies other than Cleveland Station, everything must be well planned or massive delays risk the colony's progress.
