Works and Services Department
AIG Works & Services Department exists solely to support the AIG mission and deliver its commitment on Infrastructure, Environmental Health and Fire & Sea Rescue to the people of Ascension Island.

AIG Works & Services Department also covers Environmental Health and the Fire & Sea Rescue Service. It employs 60 tradesmen and women who use a wide range of specialist plant and equipment to carry out its essential core functions to support the community.

The Works & Services Department is responsible for the maintenance and operation of existing AIG buildings (hospital, domestic, school, office and commercial/industrial) and infrastructure. The infrastructure within its area of responsibility comprises: pier, roads & paths (together with Conservation), drains, sewage works, civilian rubbish collection & tip, public areas, chapel of rest, cemetery and the water supply on Green Mountain. Various other infrastructure elements are the responsibility of others outside AIG.

Works & Services support other users on the Island with their expertise (including a qualified, to the latest European standards, asbestos stripping team) on a need basis when resources allow.

Works & Services Department is responsible for planning and constructing all new buildings and infrastructure required by AIG and any users who need and want to use those services.
