Municipal Services Mobile Unit

To ensure the Municipal Services Mobile Unit is adequately equipped to meet the diverse needs of Noonu Atoll, a thorough assessment of the municipal services and public works requirements of island councils and resorts will be conducted. This assessment will identify specific equipment needs, such as heavy machinery for infrastructure projects, construction tools for general maintenance, and specialized equipment for tasks like waste management. Based on this assessment, a comprehensive list of necessary equipment will be prepared, taking into consideration factors such as cost-effectiveness, reliability, and suitability for the local conditions. Once the equipment list is finalized, a procurement process will be initiated to source and acquire the required items from reliable suppliers. The procurement process will involve careful evaluation of bids from multiple suppliers, considering factors such as price, quality, delivery timelines, sustainability and after-sales support. By conducting a thorough procurement process, the project aims to ensure that the mobile unit is equipped with the best-suited and most cost-effective equipment to deliver efficient, effective and sustainable services to the community.

Once the necessary equipment has been procured, the next step in the implementation of the Municipal Services Mobile Unit is to set up a suitable vessel to transport and store the equipment and machinery. A thorough evaluation will be conducted to select a vessel that is both spacious and durable enough to accommodate the required equipment and machinery without compromising safety. Factors such as load capacity, fuel efficiency, and maneuverability will be considered in the selection process. Once the vessel is chosen, it will undergo necessary customizations to ensure the safe and efficient transportation and storage of equipment and machinery. This may include modifications to the interior to create secure compartments for tools and machinery, as well as the installation of safety features such as tie-downs, fire extinguishers, and occupational healthy and safety measures for the crew onboard. The goal of these customizations is to create a well-organized and safe workspace within the mobile unit, enabling efficient, effective and sustainable service delivery.

The Municipal Services Mobile Unit will be strategically deployed to serve the various islands within Noonu Atoll, with a schedule developed based on the specific needs and priorities of each island. Coordination with island councils and resorts will be essential to plan and execute service delivery effectively. The mobile unit will offer a wide range of services in addition to waste management, including repairing roads, dredging shallow harbors, beach restoration, repairing infrastructure such as waste management facilities, clearing debris, demolitions and relocating trees. By offering a comprehensive range of services to cater the municipal service needs island councils the mobile unit will play a vital role in improving the built environment and overall quality of life on the islands of Noonu Atoll.

To ensure the continued reliability, efficiency and sustainability of the Municipal Services Mobile Unit, a comprehensive maintenance and upkeep program will be implemented. Regular inspections by trained personnel will be conducted to identify and address any potential issues, such as wear and tear, equipment malfunctions, or safety hazards. Preventive maintenance measures will be scheduled to ensure the optimal performance and longevity of the equipment, including routine checks, cleaning, and lubrication. To facilitate timely repairs and replacements, the project will train a dedicated team for its operations and maintain an inventory of essential spare parts. This inventory will be regularly updated to ensure that necessary components are readily available when needed. By prioritizing maintenance and upkeep and well being of the the operations team, the project aims to minimize downtime and ensure that the mobile unit can deliver consistent and reliable services to the community.
