Figure 1: Line preparation by hand clearing: trails of approximately 1 m wide are cut open using
machetes and chain saws to cut the vegetation in order to gain access to the shot points and
receiver points.
Figure 2: For difficult to reach areas, such as dense jungle, fly camps are being build. The above
pictures shows floating platforms as a basis for the fly camps. These platforms are placed by use
of helicopters. Airboats will be employed for transport in certain swamp areas, which will
require the construction of airboat trails. For transport to and from the camps boats or cars will
be used, depending on the conditions.
Figure 3: The shot holes are drilled by portable motorized drills. Approximately 3” holes will be
drilled till 6 – 10 m depth every 10 – 40 m. Water for the drilling process is supplied by a small
water pump.
