Manual Mine Clearance

MineTech has an experienced mine clearance team of over 400 deminers who have been deployed worldwide to areas such as Afghanistan, Iraq, Sudan, Chad, Kuwait, Lao PDR, Angola, Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Kosovo, Somaliland, Mozambique, and Lebanon. Our rigorous selection procedure and training programme ensures that all field personnel are of the highest calibre.

Manual mine clearance procedures involve locating, identifying and neutralising mines. Many mine clearance tasks are not straightforward and difficulties can arise throughout the entire demining process. For instance, deminers can have problems trying to find intricate landmine fuses or locating landmines with low metal content. These difficulties are overcome by providing mine clearance staff with clear guidelines and training to enable them to prevail over any obstacles they may encounter.

Confidence in the overall process for clients, deminers and local communities is primarily based on strict adherence to stringent technical and safety standards. MineTech personnel are engaged in dangerous work, often in extremely harsh and difficult circumstances. Safety and discipline are, therefore, of paramount importance.

Manual mine clearance methods, although arduous and often slow at times, are the most exhaustive and reliable means of mine clearance. This is the only way to guarantee that affected areas have been cleared to humanitarian standards.
