Ordnance Disposal
MineTech International undertakes a considerable
amount of explosive ordnance disposal (EOD) that ranges from battlefield
clearance to clearing areas previously used for military
exercises as well as disposal of munitions stores.
Battle Area Clearance (BAC) and clearance of
unexploded ordnance (UXO) is carried out on land that is
known to be free of landmines. The methods used in BAC normally involve
different procedures from those used for landmine
clearance.
   MineTech International ordnance disposal teams have
expert knowledge in the classification and disposal of all
types of UXO. There are various types of UXO hazards that
disposal teams may come across which need to be clearly
marked and identified. These might include:
- Aircraft bombs
- Tank shells
- Artillery shells and mortars
- Missiles and rockets
- Machine guns and grenades
- Various pyrotechnics including coloured smoke, thunder flashes, flares and signal cartridges.
