Home/Where we work

Coverage · seven countries

Permits in seven countries. Experience across the continent.

We mobilise our own crews, rigs and laboratory support across borders — with the work permits, logistics and local knowledge to arrive ready rather than learning on site.

Headquarters · Mukono

Mobilisation

What crossing a border actually takes.

  1. Permits and compliance firstWork permits, equipment carnets, tax and customs clearance arranged before a rig leaves the yard.
  2. Self-sufficient crewsCamp, fuel, spares, consumables and communications travel with the team. Remote sites do not get a reduced standard.
  3. Local partnershipLocal labour, local suppliers and community engagement wherever we work — it is faster, and it is right.
  4. The same reporting standardWhatever the country, the deliverable is the same: traceable data, Eurocode 7 and BS 5930 practice, and a factual report you can hand to a lender.

We make it happen

Working outside your home market?

We hold the permits and the logistics chain across the Great Lakes region — and we mobilise as one crew, not a chain of subcontractors.
