Easy installation using experienced carpenter and local apprenticealso known as APY Lands, is a large, sparsely populated local government area for Aboriginal people, located northwest South Australia. The remoteness (over 700 km from Alice Springs) of this project requires high degree of certainty of material quantities and systems that are guaranteed to work. All materials are sent by road from Adelaide; more than 1,800 km including hundreds of kilometres of unsealed roads. We can’t afford transit damage. Call backs cost a fortune. Every worker requires a permit to enter the area and costs of deployment are sky-high. Therefore, it is critical to keep crew numbers to a minimum and where possible use local workers. |
