1056 Field Workshop Company (General Reserve Engineer Force) located at Sultan Chushku in the High Altitude Area (HAA) Stage III of Ladakh, is the Workshop at the Highest Altitude in the World. The workshop is situated at an altitude of 14,650 ft, which makes it one of the most challenging locations for a workshop to operate in. The area of responsibility covered by the workshop is approximately 300 km longitudinally, including 2-3 laterals under construction in difficult terrain. The workshop is responsible for providing repair - recovery support for approximately 538 vehicles, equipment, and plants of 50 Border Roads Task Force (BRTF) under the Project Himank of the Border Roads Organisation. There are 4-6 detachments deployed in the area of responsibility by the workshop. The workshop is situated 150 km above the tree-line, 270 km up from the capital of Ladakh UT, Leh. The nearest civilian population settlement is also located 150 km away from the workshop. The workshop functions without any main power supply and communication is limited to 2G from BSNL. Personnel working at the workshop are prone to illnesses associated with the vagaries of the weather in HAA, with minimum temperatures dropping as low as (-) 45 degrees Celsius. The workshop's location and the challenges it faces make it a unique and unparalleled achievement in the world of workshops. The workshop's dedication to providing support for the BRTF personnel and maintaining their equipment and vehicles is commendable, and its perseverance in the face of such extreme conditions is a testament to the human spirit.
