They are non-toxic, creates no fumes and they are both environmentally friendly. Firstly we have the Loctite Naval Jelly Rust Dissolver and secondly is Evapo-Rust; they are non-corrosive and non-irritant to the skin and eyes.

Aaron Francois, the owner of a garage in the South of the island shared the following pic to show the effects of Evapo-Rust before and after on a few tools."The product is excellent.

Aaron said.

For the North of the island this year, so far, the lawmen are seeing an average of 4 house robberies per day.  Can you imagine sitting in your living room and someone suddenly appears uninvited? Only God knows what can happen next – rape, injury,murder etc. 

 From the health authorities it is being echoed that this present warm weather is most favourable for the breeding of rodents.They breed at an alarming rate which could overtake your home in a jiffy. Your yard could be littered with rodents that may eventually invade your home. 

What are you prepared to do about these two problems? At Rayneau we are always putting forward solutions to our customers to enable them to cope with problems. Here are two solutions :-

The Victor Sonic Pest Chaser:

To protect your home from rats and mice you can use science instead of traps and poisons.. Years of research have gone into the victor Pest chaser. The high frequency ultra sound emits a jackhammer-like noise that drives rodents away while being inaudible to humans and pests. There is no poison to handle and no messy cleaning from traps.

The PestChaser is a perfectly safe rodent solution because it works by preventing rodents from entering your home or business in the first place.

Celebrating 21 years in Business – CIE Ltd, Making an Impact (Slide show)

Monday April 4, 2016, Construction and Industrial Equipment Ltd marked 21 years in business by doing what it’s been doing since day one – build organizational and institutional capacity, create wealth and employment, encourage innovation, develop professional capabilities, foster relationships locally and regionally, deliver best quality products and services and constantly ensure service beyond expectation. 

In April 1995, Rayneau Gajadhar started the company and built it on the premise that quality is our priority. Gajadhar has upheld that standard with the work in the divisions of Industrial, Commercial, Public, and Education, in the construction industry. Rayneau Gajadhar and Construction and Industrial Equipment Ltd. have gone through two decades of excellence with many more to come.

Rayneau with his team in 2009

In celebrating the achievements of CIE Ltd, one cannot divorce oneself from celebrating the achievements of its Team Leader as well. Doing this would be doing a great injustice to Mr Gajadhar and the company on the whole. To the business community and by extension the country, Rayneau Gajadhar and CIE Ltd are synonymous.

The son of a humble family from Barre De Lisle, Rayneau Gajadhar attended the Methodist school and then the St. Mary’s College, always knowing that someday he’d wish to start his own business.  He confesses that his parents are his mentors, because of the sacrifices that they made to raise him and his siblings.  “They always provided for the family and were always there to guide us in the right direction.  My mother is truly an inspiration as she is still very active and independent at ninety-two.” He says.

Rayneau decided to start up his own business due to his inability to find a job after sending out countless applications and receiving absolutely no response.  He did not have any chosen career path, so he did not know what type of business he wanted to start. He tried various forms of employment, but what he saw was opportunity in the construction industry and decided to try it out. He actually started with two bobcats, doing a job here and there and at times, hiring the equipment to other contractors. The returns were good so he expanded.  Mr Gajadhar reiterates that he saw major changes in the types of buildings, construction techniques, types of equipment, and the size of equipment used and capitalized on them.  Read more about our Team Leader at  http://bit.ly/1Ot7CCh

 

CIE Ltd Celebrating 21 Years

CIE Ltd is now classed as the top construction company on island and can now boast of a wide cadre of  heavy equipment, including trucks, caterpillars, loaders, specialized machines etc.

The list of active and recently completed CIE Ltd projects touches on nearly all spheres of construction; from commercial, to residential and streets-cape, to nonprofit. Some active and recently completed projects and achievements include:

• Mocha Bridge in Soufriere
• Banse/La Haut, Rehabilitation Road project  http://bit.ly/1V164pC
• Hewanorra International Airport Apron  http://bit.ly/1V164pC
• Forestierre Stabilization Project http://bit.ly/1TgaVAS
• Bois D'Orange Bridge  http://bit.ly/1X9JPhs
• Debreuil/Myers Bridge Road  http://bit.ly/1rLHEVH
• Ciceron Road Surfacing Project
• BID Award for Quality Products  http://bit.ly/227EqbN
• Gen-X Program
• Blue Diamond Hotel
• Monchy Housing Project  http://bit.ly/27mb4dw

Most recently, CIE Ltd was awarded a contract to construct a new Administrative Complex in Vieux Fort. The project is being undertaken by the Government of Saint Lucia, in partnership with the National Insurance Corporation (NIC) http://bit.ly/1TCPuY4

One of CIE’s greatest passions is its involvement with non-profit work. The company is involved in assisting schools, students and the elderly by renovating classrooms, painting schools, offering monetary support to students and building footpaths and other infra-structural amenities for the most needy in various communities across the island. At the Debreuil Combined School (http://bit.ly/27maMTV) we are in the process of building a room which will offer life-changing experiences for children facing  disabilities, and other challenges.

The future for the company holds a cache of opportunities yet to be revealed. 

“For the future we’ll continue to be innovative and recognize niche markets that would benefit on a national level,” Rayneau says, “We always have been and will continue to be keen on exploring new ways of meeting old needs that will help us excel in key areas.”

Mr Gajadhar believes that developments and growth in training are aimed at further enhancing the staff’s ability to ensure quality customer satisfaction and an ongoing search and development for the next generation of contractors that are entering into the industry.

“We want to continue attracting and engaging innovative thinkers and professionals who can provide solutions to the challenges of the industry,” Rayneau states, “That will help us create new value added products and services for our customers.”

Happy 21st Anniversary. The sky is the limit! Be everywhere,do everything,never fail to astonish the customer.

1.Tarpaulin to cover holes if needed

2.Flashlight / Batteries

3.Trash bags and duct tape - useful for clean-up, or patching leaks in an emergency

Be Prepared This Season - Do Not Procrastinate!

Hello, it’s that time again……..hurricane season in St Lucia and across the Caribbean! For many of us it is a time we’d prefer to dismiss. The 2016 Atlantic Hurricane Season is likely to be more active than the 2015 Hurricane season, however, it will be less active than average. It appears that we will see longer lasting tropical storm activity this year as well as more hurricane activity this season as compared to last year. With predictions pointing to a total of 12 named storms, five hurricanes and two major hurricanes this season, according to the forecast prepared by Colorado State University, which is headed by Dr. Phil Klotzbach in consultation with long-time hurricane expert Dr. William Gray, we need to be on our guard.

It has been predicted to be a near-average season - what are your plans? Close your eyes and recall the pain, devastation and destruction caused by Hurricane Tomas and the last Christmas Trough, then open your eyes and come to the Rayneau Construction & Industrial Products (RCIP) Ltd to get all your hurricane preparedness supplies and gear.

Here is a great piece of advise from RCIP Ltd -  when entering a hurricane season, the longer it’s been since we had a hurricane, the closer we are to the next one, meaning it’s a good thing to practice what Boys’ Scouts do – that is BE PREPARED!

Take time to think about it, see what you can do, what are you going to do? Now don’t worry about all the hype that you will hear when the hurricane season just starts - everybody will be talking about it. It’s going to be several months before the entire system warms up and after a while the hurricanes become potentially stronger and stronger and more frequent.

So we do have a little bit of time, but this is the opportunity you have to decide what you have to do .

Plywood, Galvanize sheets, Guttering

There are several things we can do to be prepared for intense weather systems. Perhaps an appropriate starting place is our homes and properties. After sacrificing large sums to own your preferred dwelling place it is advisable to go a step further and ensure your investment is adequately protected from harsh elements.

•         Cut down threatening trees or over hanging branches
•         Stock up on plywood
•         Repair leaks in roof or replace  rotten galvanize
•        Get a set of handy tools - http://rayneau.blogspot.com/2016/04/start-your-toolbox-essentials-with.html
•        An hurricane emergency kit

Hurricane Preparedness Tips  

There are so many things you can do. What you don’t want to do is to wait the last minute, because what humans do most is to procrastinate. “Oh, I’ll have time to do this.” Or “I’ll wait till the next bulletin comes out.” Come down to Rayneau now and get the supplies you need. It’s the best advise we at RCIP Ltd can give you.

Look out for our next post on emergency supplies to have on-hand.
