The “Ottawa Convention,” which bans anti-personnel mines, came into force in 1999. The Convention has since been ratified by 164 states. However, thousands of people still die or are critically injured every year as a result of a mine explosion. Even many years after the end of a war, mines are still a great danger to the civilian population and children in particular are not aware of the dangers.

De-mining is dangerous and demanding work, but FOERSTER devices support you in the search for and detection thereof. The devices in the MINEX product family were developed especially for finding buried ordnance. Even boggy or naturally mineralized, conductive soils can be reliably searched and cleared, allowing contaminated areas to be repopulated and reclaimed for agricultural purposes.
