These extractive sites are managed by the Regional Civil Engineering teams. Sites are only operated on a project by project basis and may be left unworked for many years depending on work programmes.When sites are worked, it is carried out by Contractors and FLS do not have a full time presence on site.Some Regions carry out Blasting Operations in house however other Regions full contract out the Drill and Blast operations. The South Region own and operate their own Drill Rig.Due to turnover in staff, there is a requirement for vocational qualifications in order for Regional teams to safely manage the extractive sites.
