PDL Toll Working Hard in Honiara<br />
PDL <strong>TOLL</strong> HAS BEEN THE PRIME CONTRACTOR FOR THE<br />
PROVISION OF LOGISTICS SUPPORT TO THE REGIONAL<br />
ASSISTANCE MISSION IN THE SOLOMON ISLANDS (RAMSI)<br />
SINCE OCTOBER 2003. PDL <strong>TOLL</strong>’S BASE IN THE SOLOMON<br />
ISLANDS IS IN THE COUNTRY’S CAPITAL, HONIARA.<br />
RAMSI is <strong>the</strong> combined military <strong>and</strong> civilian police <strong>for</strong>ce charged with<br />
restoring <strong>the</strong> rule of law in <strong>the</strong> Solomon Isl<strong>and</strong>s under Operation<br />
HELPEM FREN.<br />
The RAMSI coalition was established at <strong>the</strong> request of <strong>the</strong> Solomon<br />
Isl<strong>and</strong>s Government <strong>and</strong> is made up of military <strong>and</strong> police <strong>for</strong>ces from<br />
<strong>the</strong> Australian Government <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> governments of New Zeal<strong>and</strong>,<br />
Papua New Guinea, Fiji <strong>and</strong> Tonga.<br />
PDL Toll has been increasingly busy in Honiara in recent times, with its<br />
client, <strong>the</strong> Australian Federal Police (AFP), embarking on several new<br />
works programs as <strong>the</strong>y fur<strong>the</strong>r develop <strong>the</strong>ir main site in Honiara at<br />
Guadalcanal Beach Resort (GBR).<br />
As prime contractor <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> provision of logistics support, PDL Toll<br />
provide all <strong>the</strong> day to day services <strong>the</strong> AFP require including catering,<br />
maintenance, works, transport, stores, physical training, laundry,<br />
cleaning, medical, air, sea, freight <strong>and</strong> executive services to <strong>the</strong> AFP.<br />
Currently one of <strong>the</strong> busiest departments of <strong>the</strong> PDL Toll team is <strong>the</strong><br />
Facilities <strong>and</strong> Works Department.<br />
Led by Manager Ross Craig, <strong>and</strong> supported by a very enthusiastic <strong>and</strong><br />
competent crew including Duncan Stewart (Deputy Works Manager),<br />
David S<strong>and</strong>eman (Maintenance Supervisor), Warren Davis (Grounds<br />
Supervisor) <strong>and</strong> 12 locally employed Solomon Isl<strong>and</strong> technical staff, this<br />
team not only provides facilities, works <strong>and</strong> maintenance support to <strong>the</strong><br />
GBR facility, but also to <strong>the</strong> 15 isl<strong>and</strong> outposts. PDL Toll services <strong>the</strong>se<br />
outposts by helicopter, fixed wing aircraft or boat. The isl<strong>and</strong>s are remote<br />
<strong>and</strong> can take up to two hours to reach by air or one day by ship.<br />
Major works to be managed by this Department this year include:<br />
Removal <strong>and</strong> replacement of a full commercial kitchen capable<br />
of catering <strong>for</strong> up to 1500 people.<br />
Additional accommodation blocks <strong>for</strong> up to 144 Australian Defence<br />
Force personnel.<br />
A new PDL Toll office accommodation block is also under construction.<br />
Likely o<strong>the</strong>r works to be managed this year include:<br />
Erection of a new warehouse.<br />
Power generation upgrade.<br />
GBR accommodation redevelopment.<br />
Eileen Mataki loading stores <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> outposts. Warren Davis clearing <strong>the</strong> site <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> new Army<br />
accommodation.<br />
Preparatory site work <strong>for</strong> <strong>the</strong> new Army accommodation.<br />
Aside from <strong>the</strong> new works, <strong>the</strong> maintenance of existing structures is a<br />
huge undertaking. Dave S<strong>and</strong>eman <strong>and</strong> his crew work tirelessly<br />
maintaining a myriad of buildings on GBR, including structural repairs,<br />
electrical work, servicing <strong>and</strong> maintenance to over three hundred air<br />
conditioners, water, sewerage <strong>and</strong> drainage systems. In <strong>the</strong> relative<br />
remoteness of <strong>the</strong> Solomon Isl<strong>and</strong>s, all of <strong>the</strong>se tasks take on fur<strong>the</strong>r<br />
challenges.<br />
The maintenance of <strong>the</strong> outposts is particularly challenging. PDL Toll is<br />
tasked with providing <strong>the</strong> same maintenance support to <strong>the</strong>se outlying<br />
isl<strong>and</strong>s as is provided to GBR <strong>and</strong> Honiara. Power to most outposts is<br />
provided by PDL Toll-maintained generators, <strong>and</strong> PDL Toll provides all<br />
<strong>the</strong> coordination of <strong>the</strong> movement of material <strong>and</strong> personnel to <strong>the</strong><br />
outposts by air <strong>and</strong> sea.<br />
Warren Davis <strong>and</strong> his team of local Solomon Isl<strong>and</strong> staff are also<br />
continually active keeping <strong>the</strong> GBR grounds mown <strong>and</strong> tidy, coconut<br />
trees lopped <strong>and</strong> <strong>the</strong> laundry <strong>and</strong> cleaning services going.<br />
Apart from all <strong>the</strong> hard work, <strong>the</strong> PDL Toll team still manages to have<br />
a bit of fun <strong>and</strong> regularly struts <strong>the</strong>ir stuff on <strong>the</strong> GBR netball courts,<br />
to great acclaim.<br />
PDL Toll has been <strong>the</strong> prime contractor to RAMSI since 2003.<br />
