Integrated redeployable camp solutions supplier Weatherhaven RCS understands the effect of high costs on operating budgets, especially with most junior and major mining companies under pressure to operate in challenging times on the back of weaker commodity prices.

The South Africa-based company was established in 2002, when Canvas & Tent Manufacturing and Weatherhaven Canada, with more than 70 years’ combined experience in the industry, embarked on a strategic alliance.

Weatherhaven RCS understands the importance of supplying suitable products and integrated systems for exploration camps, during the greenfield stages of a mining operation, to pioneer camps.

Within the Canvas & Tent group of companies, the turnkey camp facility provider has mastered the art of providing well-designed, durable and functional products suitable for extreme African environments.

The company’s solutions for exploration camps consist of high-quality locally manufactured bow tents with all the necessary stretchers, sleeping bags and collapsible cupboards. This solution is highly mobile and also takes into account the ‘quick pack up and go’ requirement.

For a longer-term, more luxurious, home-away-from-home camp, Weatherhaven RCS also offers kitchen and ablution solutions, as well as a mobile water-purification system to ensure safe drinking water. “Our pioneering camps can be designed as a turnkey solution to enable, for example, a 200-person camp to later be upgraded to a 600-person camp,” highlights Weatherhaven RCS.

As a solutions-driven company, Weatherhaven RCS offers a tailor-made solution that takes all the factors into consideration when teams are deployed during the greenfield stages of mining. As camps move on a continuous basis – the company provides reusable crates in which to pack an entire camp. “We even have a crate to house your heating, ventilating and air conditioning units so they don’t get damaged during mobilisation.”

Clients are also offered the ease of a self-installing ‘plug-and-play’ solution. Good-quality, detailed installation manuals and operating manuals are offered on all Weatherhaven RCS products. In the past, manuals were also supplied in French to companies operating in French-speaking African countries.

The company also boasts strategic partners to ensure that its clients receive a 360° service inclusive of camp management, medical services (personnel, clinics and medical evacuation) and security services.

Brands proudly available within the Canvas & Tent group include Weatherhaven RCS, luxurious products supplier to game reserves and safari destinations Bushtec Safari, outdoor tent and equipment designer and manufacturer Bushtec and Tents Direct – Canvas & Tent’s one-stop retail shop.
