Flawless Execution Under Extreme Conditions
A premier Indian government scientific organisation, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), through Crimson Energy Experts, required a comprehensive, year-long ambient soil radiation mapping project across India. The operation presented four major challenges:
NATIONWIDE SCALE
Continuous data logging for 1+ year across 1,900+ locations, covering 19 States and Union Territories.
REMOTE & DIFFICULT TERRAIN
Deployment across some of India's most challenging locations, including Lahaul-Spiti, Nagaland, Manipur, Meghalaya, Kutch and the Andaman & Nicobar Islands.
COVID-19 DISRUPTIONS
The project was executed during severe COVID-19 lockdowns, with travel restrictions, operational disruptions and significant frontline risks.
DATA & ASSET INTEGRITY
Equipment and soil samples had to be deployed, monitored, periodically rotated and returned to the Mumbai laboratories while maintaining strict data integrity and chain of custody.
Mobilising Certainty at National Scale
Brisk Olive designed and executed a dedicated nationwide field-operation model combining disciplined manpower, local mobilisation and technology-led monitoring.
500+ Ex-Soldier Surveyors
A highly disciplined field force of 500+ ex-soldier surveyors, supported by 1,500+ trained personnel, was mobilised across the project locations. A 15%+ female surveyor task force further strengthened field coverage and operational reach.
Dynamic Crisis Management
When COVID-related illness affected members of the primary field teams, pre-vetted reserve personnel were activated rapidly, ensuring continuity of operations without bringing the project to a halt.
Technology-Enabled Command & Control
Brisk Olive established a centralised monitoring architecture enabling continuous visibility of field activities, equipment status, reporting and logistics.
