CAN DO approach gives NCS Kainantu a headstart
November 12, 2008
No Challenge is too tough, as NCS Kainantu proved when they recently took on the task of managing and servicing Barrick’s remote exploration camp at Kora.
High up at an altitude of 1600 meters, KOra is in an area difficult to access.
“The fly camp is within the Bilimoia Mining Lease Area, where drill pads are being set up for further drilling”, says Kainantu Project Manager Romeo Robinson. ” it is accessible by chopper and sometimes by road, when it isn’t made impassable by torrential downpours.”
While it is a logistcial challenge, NCS prides itself in finding solutions.
Romeo says that NCS is working closely with the client to provide a persoanlised service that meets their needs and special requirements.
“It’s our “can do” approach and deterimation that is seeing the company grow.”
NCS Kainantu currently has two permanent staff and engaged local landownder to service Kora.
“Jack Maun, Max Smacker and Paul Basil work on a rotational basis withone of them based at Kora at any one time. Nonia Abbai , a local has been trained by NCS and is permanently based on site, looking after Janitorial services.
When Romeo recently paid a visit to the camp, he found Nonia all smiles. The reason behind her obvious joy was the installation of new washing machines – no more bent back doing laundry in the nearby creek!
Things are moving along with noticeable improvements – all the time.
