Polog

From Cradle to fully grown (and Grave). Define when, where and what standards and then sit back and relax until opening night. POLOG offers to handle and execute every aspect of camp construction and operation. From planning, purchasing, transporting, construction and running to demolition and stowing. POLOG can do it. This service is done in close dialogue with our clients to ensure the optimal outcome – within budget.

For prolonged exploration, research or monitoring POLOG can construct and operate the housing that will best service the operation. We will consider the lifetime consumption and environmental impact and find the best solution. We offer solutions that take into account the expected duration of the camp, the purpose of the expedition and the periods of time that the camp is used. Logical considerations about supply schedule, waste and water treatment will be evaluated. Planning and investing thoughtfully from the project start will reduce the level of maintenance and thus the operational cost. POLOG strive to make the optimal camp from day 1.

Just a quick look or jumping around? Whether you plan for a week, a month or a bi seasonal field work - we all need to sleep, eat and drink, and in the Arctic we often also need to get warm. Those intense field days have been planned all year and you want to make the best and most productive use of them. POLOG will advise on, build and operate your camp to optimize your time use in the field.

Never walk alone. We have a range of experts and partners that can support you in the field. Supplementing your knowledge and experience bringing one or more field assistants will enable your expedition to embark on otherwise difficult research. Both levels of safety and comfort are raised when the right field team is assembled. POLOG can offer to support you with both advices, personnel, equipment and transport to secure the success of your field trip.

Keep the eye on the ball – and let us do the rest. Running a camp is often more laborious than you expect. POLOG knows from years of camp operation in remote areas that even small camp setups are quite demanding to run - even on idle. Bringing with you personnel dedicated to operate your camp and handle supplies will optimize field time. POLOG offers the optimal solution – and actually, our experience shows that small, primitive camps has the highest demand for support relative to size.

The right man for the right job. POLOG offers to support your operation with dedicated and high quality manpower. We primarily use personnel with the right combination of skills and experience from the Arctic. We supply personnel that can manage all key functions – professional chefs, coordinators of major helicopter operations, plumbers and drilling personnel. And everything in between!

It’s all about the food. Getting hearty, varied nutritious meal several times a day will keep spirits and energy levels high enabling your operation to run smoothly. Working in the Arctic can be quite demanding and the remoteness means that meals serve as recreation and entertainment. POLOG knows the positive - and negative effects of kitchen performance – and the importance of the skills of the Chef. POLOG uses a number of professional chefs in the camps and as consultants on supplies. POLOG delivers the meal you want – from purchase to plate.
