Humanitarian Demining Clearance is far different from the operations carried out by the military during their clearance operations.

We aim to clear land so that the local populous can return to their homes and their way of life safe in the knowledge that all mines affecting their particular home, village or occupation is guaranteed to have been safely cleared, and that the areas concerned are thoroughly verified by our clearance teams, who will on completion pronounce it "SAFE". Our aim is to restore peace and security along with the social economic stabilisation of the community.

Recent studies have shown that the best way to help deal with a mined community or country is to re-establish their way of life as soon as possible, this we do by removing the threat and allow them to return to normal.

EODFx utilizes our own survey personnel who are qualified to carry out surveys in accordance with Humanitarian and International Standards.In accordance with EODFx company policy, our aim is a clearance standard of 99.6%.

• Mines and UXO, if on the surface, may only require the removal or destruction of surface laid or fired hazards.
• Clearance in Urban or built up areas may require to removal of debris during the clearance phase.
• Where bombs or missiles are located, the depth of clearance may be many meters.
• Underwater, desert or sand regions may require specific operations that will be assessed on an individual basis.
