Range maintenance
Range users invest in state-of-the-art technology and materials, buildings and services that meet stringent international standards for indoor and outdoor ranges. The bullet protection systems in these shooting ranges are carefully designed and installed by a specialist expert contractor to maximise the safety of the trainees.
To ensure that trainees continue to train within a safe environment, it is important that crucial shooting range systems are maintained to the same high standards as described in the original design criteria. The shooting ranges must be regularly monitored to ensure that they continue to meet modern international safety standards.
Corrective and preventative maintenance
AIS can provide corrective and preventative maintenance to sustain the original systems as described in the initial design criteria and maintenance manuals, whilst also being aware of potential updates and changes to comply with the best international practices.
These critical systems can be better maintained by a single expert contractor, who will take responsibility for the safety and maintenance of the shooting ranges. This ensures that range usage is maximised, down time is minimised, safety is never compromised, and the users have the best possible return on their investment.
