In high-threat environments, the majority of a camp’s occupants are going to be “high-dollar” human assets. With every company required to carry large (and costly) insurance policies, protecting human assets can be the best way to secure profits. Losing just one man can cost the company the equivalent of a million dollars; more than enough to pay the difference between building conventional and building the Exup way.
