Fire Control, Security & Rescue for Frontier Workcamps

摘要

Whether for gold mining operations in Indonesia, pipeline projects in Venezuela, or diamond mines in Angola, wilderness workcamps are an essential component of frontier operations. Base camps are the essential springboard of operations for the harvesting of natural resources and civil development projects in frontier regions. Many developing nations have turned to the harvesting of naturally occurring resources as a source of income for civil development projects that will elevate the nation from an agrarian economy to industrialized status. This exploitation includes the development of petrochemical energy reserves, mining for valuable minerals and forestry operations. Once sources of funding for these projects are secured, interest shifts toward the need for infrastructure development, such as hydroelectrical dams, permanent roadways and train railways. Some nations have such an abundance of natural resources that long-term managed harvesting is a primary sector of their gross national products and a principal trade commodity.
