UXO SURVEY, DETECTION AND DISPOSAL

UXO SURVEY, DETECTION & DISPOSAL

With a strong background in Explosive Ordnance Disposal (EOD) and the detection of Unexploded Ordnance (UXO), Unexploded Bombs (UXB), and Explosive Remnants of War (ERW), comprehensive scanning and detection services are provided to ensure safety and compliance. These services encompass the full spectrum of clearance operations—from initial site assessments and feasibility studies to the deployment of trained personnel and specialized equipment for the secure and timely removal of hazardous ordnance.

 

Expertise is rooted in the careful analysis, planning, and execution of each project. An experienced project management team, along with a skilled cadre of UXO technicians and specialists, oversees operations from initial survey through to final completion.

 

Service capabilities include:

​

  • Site assessments and feasibility evaluations

  • Coordination with relevant authorities

  • Pre- and post-clearance surveys, including scanning and detection

  • Ordnance removal support from certified EOD specialists

  • Provision of advanced detection and clearance equipment

  • Clearance operations and official certification

  • Delivery of specialized training programs

FOERSTER Detection

​

FOERSTER's detection systems support the investigation of contaminated sites for landmines, unexploded ordnance and other abandoned hazards. For example, our products can pinpoint dud bombs (UXO) so that clearance services can safely remove these dangerous legacies of past wars and conflicts.

​

And FOERSTER also offers comprehensive solutions for archaeology. A broad portfolio of FOERSTER detection devices is available to you discover buried cultural artifacts - whether just below the surface or at significantly greater depths.
