Project
management
GeoPool offers a wide range of services to allow your company to focus on the essential: exploration! We prepare the ground so that your exploration project runs smoothly. Entering a new area requires knowledge on a local level, and we are aware of the potential legal and cultural challenges. With that knowledge, we have the ability to support your company to operate and maintain your social license.
We are experienced in creating an effective field base setup using local contractors and suppliers. This way, problems can be solved quickly on-site and long downtimes are avoided. Our network of connections allows us to react fast when needed. Most importantly, we aim to work together with the local community to benefit the whole region.
PROJECT STARTUP
GeoPool makes all the necessary preparations so that everything is set for active exploration. We coordinate a field base near the project area and acquire the needed equipment and supplies. We negotiate with the contractors to find the most efficient way to carry out the exploration plan. Safety is an essential value at GeoPool, and therefore work safety is considered in all preparations.
With us on board, the process covers:
- Project budgeting
- Setting up a local field base (e.g. accommodation, office, sample processing facility, storage space)
- Reconnaissance site visits and early preparations
- Finding local professionals and contractors
- Contractor agreements
- Creating project safety protocols
- Kick-off meeting for personnel and contractors
