Project Management

We frequently work on remote sites with limited infrastructure, challenging access and logistics,
difficult ground (permafrost, karst, caving, squeezing), extreme climates (+/-45C, >9m rain/yr), diverse work forces, hostilities (war, insurrections, violence), and such.
Our goal is client prosperity.

Our strategy is to reduce the time/cost/risk of field programs while improving data/outcomes.

To achieve this we:
  • create simple and robust field programs
  • eliminate risks and surprises via checklists, redundancies, and back-up plans
  • confirm data quality via frequent in-field checks, data synthesis, and reporting
  • use staff with experience and good judgment
  • ​collaborate
 

Data Collection

Good data (accurate, abundant, relevant, coherent, verified, and well-organized) are essential for sound analysis, designs, plans, operations, and investment decisions. 
We create a data organizational structure before starting field work.

We collect data using robust procedures, verify data as they are collected, build a coherent data story daily, and promptly share data to expedite analysis and design.

We use data in the field to optimize the work remaining, which reduces field time/costs.

We communicate frequently with clients so they always know the best data and the best field program are being achieved.

Innovation

Innovation is a fundamental part of our activities. We do it to enhance our client’s prosperity and to keep ourselves at the forefront of field services.

We use innovation to achieve better field results (>data, >relevance, <time, <cost, <risk), support our clients' broader goals, and to create new opportunities. Please see our ‘Projects’ page for a few examples of our innovations.​
