Everything that arrives in the Falklands is either delivered by ship or air and it’s important to plan ahead and forecast what our staff need on the Island in advance. Delivering work when you are located in remote island 8, 000 miles away from the UK and working in extreme weather conditions can be testing. Living in the Falklands comes with its challenges.

Sewage treatment system in East Falklands We have even installed pipelines all the way to the top of the mountains! We provide the life support needed to ensure that service personnel and their families can live, work and train in this unique environment.

We also generate mains power, produce and distribute portable water, maintain the sewage disposal system, operate a quarry and provide land management advice. Some of this work includes improving accommodation and maintaining a large fuel depot. A lot of the estate is coming towards the end of its design life as it was built around 34 years ago, so we’ve got critical work planned to ensure that our infrastructure is maintained. Tony Robertson, DIO Area Manager for the South Atlantic Islands ĭIO is currently working on many different projects to maintain the condition and capability of our facilities and the lifestyle of deployed staff.
