Explosives Disposal

Our wide knowledge, and technical understanding of both military and civil sector explosives provides the expertise to destroy everything from simple bulk explosives to difficult mixed consignments in complete safety.

Our clients include waste disposal companies, defence and explosives manufacturers, oilfield operators, and government defence ministries who require advice on or disposal of excess national inventories.
