DOING IT RIGHT WHEN NO ONE IS LOOKING
Hello everyone,
You will be pleased to hear that approval has already been granted to purchase several million dollars of new equipment. In fact, new equipment purchased in 2010/11 will exceed over 40% of current Indonesia fleet value. This new fleet is combination of equipment to meet expanding / new projects and as replacements for older fleet that no longer meets our demanding levels of quality and reliability.
As part of our growth plan, Human Resources, Equipment, Infrastructure and the Company Business model are in the process of being upgraded and expanded. You will have seen evidence of this with the recently completed upgrades to the PT Allight Workshop.
Currently senior management is in final negotiations for a new state of the art Administration Center and Coates workshop in Balikpapan. It planned these new facilities be completed by Jan 2011.
We can all look forward to a very busy and interesting year ahead. It is my intention to challenge all of us to achieve new heights of professionalism and safety as we move forward. Management will provide the skill sets required to ensure that when we put on our uniform, we are proud of being the people that consistently and safely ensure our clients always have ‘
THE RIGHT EQUIPMENT, IN THE RIGHT PLACE, AT THE RIGHT TIME’.
Thank you and I look forward to your input in the new magazines and always remember:

PUMPING TO NEW HEIGHTS
MD Century approached Coates Hire Indonesia to support their project in Bojonegoro, Java. The initial request was for 2 pumps to deliver water for their drilling operations 6km away. Upon investigation by Coates Hire Indonesia, the solution was to propose one pump only with an 185m head capacity. The HL130 was considered a cost effective solution for Century.
Coates Hire Indonesia was also asked to supply personnel for security and operators, Coates Hire Indonesia chose to employ people from the local community. Management was fully supportive of the initiative, as it was aligned with our CSR policy and helped the local community with employment and training opportunities.
