Facility management

CIS carries out the maintenance of its kitchen and laundry equipment and is also qualified to maintain buildings, facilities and specific equipment, such as generators, air conditioning and heating systems, plumbing, and water treatment and waste management stations.

In addition to our expertise, we have created an innovative IT solution that enables us to manage spare part stocks and to develop preventive and curative maintenance schedules. We can also arrange inspections of facilities be means of drones, in particular to carry out certain types of maintenance activities (e.g. roof repair, maintenance of equipment located in high positions, etc.).

Water supply is a critical, yet common issue for remote sites. From water waste management to water purification, CIS’ teams oversee the entire water treatment process in order to ensure continuous supply and consistent quality. Water quality is controlled according to currently recognised international standards.

In order to limit our waste and the cost of waste management, CIS’ adopts a proactive approach, starting from the supply phase: our choice of products is determined by their packaging and environmental impact. We operate across the entire waste chain, from collection and transportation, to selective sorting and the incineration of domestic, medical and industrial waste generated by the camp. This management includes all types of waste, whether solid, liquid or gaseous. In many of the Group’s operations, CIS also implements composting.

The outside environment is just as important to our residents as the communal and private living areas. That is why we have created the following range of services: planting programmes adapted to the local climate, lawn mowing, weeding, fertilisation, mulching, irrigation and system maintenance, monitoring of plant health, waste disposal, control of invasive plant species, and snow removal.

In order to create and maintain a healthy environment on-site, CIS contributes to the eradication of various pests that carry infectious diseases, such as malaria. Sanitary safety is our constant priority.

In order to provide our clients a comprehensive offering in terms of safety, CIS can cover all aspects of fire safety on-site. Our employees receive training to raise their awareness of hazards and take part in evacuation drills, first-aid training, information sessions on the rules to follow in the event of a fire, etc. We also ensure the maintenance of firefighting equipment, such as fire extinguishers and water supply systems.
