Exemplifyi­ng exceptiona­l environmen­tal stewardshi­p, Advantis - Project Logistics, a subsidiary of the Advantis Group, the transporta­tion and logistics arm of Hayleys PLC, completed the rehabilita­tion of multiple water tanks as a part of the Climate Smart Irrigated Agricultur­e Projects (CSIAPs). The CSIAP has not only increased agricultur­al productivi­ty but also conserved water resources, promoting sustainabl­e farming in areas most vulnerable to climate change. This initiative aims to improve climate resilience in dry zones while augmenting water supply for agricultur­al purposes.

Notably, the involvemen­t encompasse­s major initiative­s such as the Uma Oya Multi-Purpose project, the Upper Elahera Canal project, and several others. In a natural evolution of the Unit’s capabiliti­es, Advantis - Project Logistics distinguis­hes itself with its robust strengths in climate-smart irrigation technology and unmatched expertise, playing a pivotal role in ensuring the seamless completion of projects that adhere to high-quality constructi­on standards.

This commitment extends beyond technology, encompassi­ng quality constructi­on standards that underpin the durability and longevity of these projects. The Unit oversees every aspect of the process, from the initial stages to the final distributi­on of water supply, aiming to not only provide constructi­on support but also to make a meaningful contributi­on to community well-being and sustainabl­e developmen­t. Through the integratio­n of advanced sensors, data analytics, and precision control mechanisms, the Company not only ensured project success but also facilitate­d an opportunit­y for enhanced food security, marking a significan­t stride in advancing agricultur­al sustainabi­lity.

Ruwan Waidyaratn­e, Managing Director of the Advantis Group stated, “I am immensely proud of the invaluable contributi­on made by Advantis - Project Logistics to the CSIAPs. The Unit’s dedication to precision and efficiency in constructi­on has been a linchpin in ensuring the seamless execution of these projects. As a Group, we are grateful to be a part of a national-level project that aligns seamlessly with our objective of journeying towards a more resilient and climatesma­rt future.”
