Shareholder sites in N.Alberta

LSD Location on Desktop

LSD Location on Desktop

If the site only has an LSD location, that's not a concern; we have ways to locate the site, either by desktop computer, mobile app, or custom GPS software.

Large paper maps

Large paper maps

We know that technology is not infallible, and also travel with large (3'x4') paper laminated Oil Industry versions as back up, or better scaling of an area.(Also carry traditional book editions)

Garmin Rhino w/ GPRS

Garmin Rhino w/ GPRS

We have multiple GPS on cellular, and 2 standalone units, one vehicle mounted (which is also portable), and another unit with FRS + GMRS radio capabilities to 5 miles (not IS rated).

Cellular Booster Kit

Cellular Booster Kit

Our vehicle has a mounted cellular booster kit that can add that extra range, a handheld just can't do on its own. Though this will improve range, land terrain still dictates if a signal will be accessible.

2 Way Radio (UHF/VHF)

2 Way Radio (UHF/VHF)

We own a VHF vehicle radio for access to certain sites. Note: In order to be on your frequency; your company will need to issue an authorization letter to us, to get the specific frequencies needed, added to our radio by radio programming dealers.

2 Way Radio (UHF/VHF)

2 Way Radio (UHF/VHF)

If we are required to have a portable IS (Intrinsically Safe) model please advise us as early as possible, as we would need to rent one, and have frequencies programmed on to it.

Travel Planner

Travel Planner

It's well known that Western Canada is very spread out, and that there isn't a gas station every other block. Prior to driving to non-urban sites, we will review our proprietary travel planner/checklist, which covers distance from A>B fuel considerations, weather conditions, destination lodging, meal options. To avoid road fatigue sunrise/sunset times are noted, and how long before destination can be reached.

PLB by ACR ResQLink+

PLB by ACR ResQLink+

We know that emergencies do happen, and they can be outside of traditional cellular coverage areas. We believe in being prepared, and endorse the use of registered PLB (Personal Locator Beacons) to reach emergency services, in matters of life and death.

Please advise us well in advance of any possible work you may want us to do outside of the country, as scheduling and preparation would be required.

Vehicle Safety Strobe Beacon

Vehicle Safety Strobe Beacon

We have our own strobe beacon, if no escort vehicle is to be provided, we know that being seen is of utmost IMPORTANCE when on sites where oversized vehicles with tires that can crush a street size truck without even being noticed, is a real possibility. Usually beacons are enough for most sites, but if you require a whip antenna, let us know before heading to site.

Tow Rope Jumper Cables and Tire plug

Tow Rope Jumper Cables and Tire plug

Off-highway travel presents it's own challenges. Even though we have traversed FSR roads in some of BC most beautiful areas like Whistler Blackcomb, Squamish, or other areas, we know 'things' can go sideways. Culverts, or slick clay roads can send you where you don't want to be. We travel with a snatch/tow rope, tire repair plugs, sealant in a can, jumper cables, and a small manual hand winch. We may not need it, but someone else might.
