Votre service achats a commandé des véhicules écologiques, mais vous réalisez maintenant que les températures hivernales à votre destination peuvent descendre jusqu'à moins 40 °C… et que ces moteurs n'ont tout simplement pas été conçus pour les climats froids. Que fais-tu? >>
Dans ce cas particulier de la vie réelle, RA a immédiatement signalé qu'il y aurait un problème avec les véhicules prévus. Cependant, comme il s'est avéré impossible de réviser la commande, nous nous sommes assurés qu'il y avait des véhicules de secours à proximité du site, prêts à être loués. Le convoi a avancé comme prévu, avec pratiquement aucune perte de temps.
Lorsque les choses ne se passent pas tout à fait comme prévu, il est utile de travailler avec des personnes qui connaissent le terrain et ses limites. Chez RA, tout notre personnel a l'expérience du travail dans des endroits éloignés et dans des conditions difficiles. Nous avons appris à relever les défis, ce qui signifie que nous pouvons vous ouvrir la voie.
So you thought the Sahara was dry? Actually, it rains sometimes. And when it rains, there are flash floods. You can actually be swept off the road by a wave, which seems to come from nowhere. How do you deal with it? >>
You can rest assured that in any location where RA offers support, we have already done thorough ground research ahead of your request. Our teams have visited the region over a period of 2-3 years, gathering info about the roads the weather conditions, and any other mission critical information. We can’t stop flash floods in the desert, but we can help you avoid them and plan ahead.
What if you need a full-service catering operation in the remote borderlands of Uganda – and you need it set up within a week? What would you do? >>
Whether you’re heading for West, Central or East Africa, RA can have an advance team on site to kick the project off within 72 hours, closely followed by reinforcements. Our project managers are all prepped for rapid mobilisation and we have a large database of contract staff who have worked for RA on earlier contracts and are happy to join us again. In addition, pre-qualified suppliers of equipment and fast logistical capabilities enable quick ramp up for new contracts. It helps that we already know who to deal with and how to get things done in a hurry.
You need a camp set up in a remote location Africa. It’s two weeks drive from the capital on dirt roads. The population is divided and there are known rebel strongholds on your route. What do you do?
When RA was asked by the United Nations to build accommodation for a peace-keeping force in Tine, near Darfur, it looked like an impossible mission. Tine is a long way from the capital and the journey there would take us through a country scattered with 27,000 AU soldiers and at least four rebel bases. But the peace keeping force needed a base from which to ensure the safe return of refugees, and – in spite of the many challenges and risks involved – we managed to give them one.
