It is an unfortunate fact that ammunition and explosive storage can never be 100% safe in terms of the ‘absence of risk’, and the best that can be achieved is ‘tolerable risk’ levels. Unplanned/Accidental explosions at munition sites are also a significant safety concern for the militaries/governments and a major security challenge for the international community, today. Such events have resulted in thousands of deaths, injuries, massive population displacements, colossal clean-up costs, and huge replacement of ammunition stocks along with massive re-construction activities. There are many possible causes of undesirable explosions in Ammunition Storage Areas, but these can usually be attributed to deterioration of the physical or chemical condition of the ammunition and explosives, Unsafe storage practices and infrastructure. Unsafe handling and transport practices, Enemy Strike and Terrorist Activities and acts of deliberate sabotage. Whatever the cause may be, the catastrophic effects of the incident create serious challenges on multiple fronts, logistics as well as security and public safety domains. Nature of the incident demands a very responsive action to mitigate the post-explosion hazards and undertake deliberate Explosive Ordnance Disposal activities to survive and revive. We have an expertise dealing with such situations and can offer our services on emergent grounds to our clients in such catastrophic incidents starting from Incident Control to safety of the complete area.
We have devised several practical solutions to deal with this emergency and have the experience of successfully dealing with more than five massive incidents. Our EOD Operators are trained in real time scenario to deal with such situations with highest standards of safety, reliability and security.
